Description

This compact beautiful sage reaches 1'-2' tall and 2'-3' wide. Leaves are evergreen, glossy, green and fragrant. Bright pink flowers cover the shrub from spring through fall. If you prune in late winter, you will get more blossoms. This plant attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. It prefers full to part sun and low watering requirements once it's established.
