Common Name:
Autumn Sage 'Mirage Rose Bicolour'

Description:
Autumn Sage 'Mirage Rose Bicolour' (Salvia greggii 'Mirage Rose Bicolour') is a striking and compact perennial that brings a cheerful splash of colour to the garden with its eye-catching two-toned flowers. Blooming from late spring right through to autumn, this variety features delicate blooms in a soft rose-pink with lighter blush or white lower lips, creating a beautiful contrast that stands out against the aromatic green foliage. Part of the Mirage series, it’s been bred for tidy growth, excellent branching, and prolific flowering. Well-suited to Melbourne’s climate, this salvia thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, offering strong performance through hot, dry conditions once established. It attracts bees, butterflies, and small nectar-feeding birds, making it perfect for wildlife-friendly gardens. Ideal for borders, containers, rockeries or informal hedging, ‘Mirage Rose Bicolour’ requires minimal care and rewards with months of vibrant colour and movement.
