Description

Love and Wishes Sage is a dramatic and sophisticated selection prized for its stunning two-toned floral display. It produces upright spikes of deep rose-pink flowers, but the true show-stoppers are the contrasting, velvety burgundy-red calyces that hold each bloom. This striking color combination persists even after the flowers drop, significantly extending the plant's ornamental interest. With a neat, upright habit and the same incredible flowering stamina as its relatives, it adds rich color and architectural form to sunny gardens from spring through fall.

  • Striking Rose-Pink & Burgundy Flowers: Features deep rose-pink blooms set against dramatic, long-lasting burgundy-red calyces.

  • Decorative Calyces Extend Show: The colorful calyces remain attractive for weeks after petals fall, providing long-season value.

  • Top Hummingbird and Pollinator Plant: The vibrant flowers are a magnet for hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees.

  • Compact, Upright Growth: Maintains a tidy, well-branched, and upright form without flopping.

  • Heat and Drought Resilient: Excels in hot, sunny, and dry conditions with minimal supplemental water.
