About This Plant
Full or part sun. Darcyi is a low perennial sage, with sticky triangular leaves and a sharp fragrance. Dramatic red flower spikes bloom all season long, especially in autumn. More herbaceous than woody, it can be fairly evergreen in warm winters.
Native to 9000-foot elevations of the Sierra Madre Oriental, Mexico, this salvia was first collected in 1991 and is a fairly recent introduction to horticulture; it still lacks a widely used common name. The high humidity of its native range make it tolerant of conditions along the U.S. Gulf Coast. Salvia darcyi is well-behaved in the garden, endures for years, tolerates extreme cold, and makes a good companion for some of the smaller red salvias.
For better looking specimen, give it water at least once a month in summer.
Maintenance
Appreciates occasional water in full summer sun. Plan on cutting back occasionally to control size and spread.
