Salvia greggii Mirage Hot Pink

Common Name:
Autumn Sage 'Mirage Hot Pink'

Description:
Autumn Sage 'Mirage Hot Pink' (Salvia greggii 'Mirage Hot Pink') is a compact, free-flowering perennial that delivers a vivid burst of colour across the warmer months. Part of the Mirage series, this variety is known for its uniform, bushy growth and prolific flowering habit. It produces masses of bright hot pink, tubular blooms from late spring through to autumn, held above aromatic mid-green foliage. A magnet for bees, butterflies, and nectar-feeding birds, 'Mirage Hot Pink' adds movement and life to any sunny garden space. Ideal for Melbourne’s dry summers and mild winters, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and is drought-tolerant once established. Its small size and neat form make it perfect for pots, borders, edging, and mixed garden beds. Minimal maintenance is needed beyond an occasional trim after flowering to encourage fresh growth and repeat blooming.
