Perennials

Salvia microphylla 'Heatwave Glow'

Glow Peach Mountain Sage

Salvia microphylla 'Heatwave Glow' produces abundant tubular flowers in warm shades of soft peach and coral, often touched with hints of rose as they mature. The blossoms rise above small, aromatic, mid-green leaves that create a tidy, lightly textured canopy through the season. Flowering begins in late spring and continues well into fall.

In the garden, 'Heatwave Glow' suits borders, containers, and mixed perennial plantings where steady color supports summer and early autumn displays.

Design tip

Late flowers extend the season, so set it behind or beside plants that finish in midsummer. Because it is easy about light, use it to carry a planting from a sunny end of the bed into the shadier side.
