Salvia greggii Navajo Red

Common Name:
Autumn Sage ‘Navajo Red’

Description:
Salvia greggii ‘Navajo Red’ is a compact, free-flowering perennial shrub prized for its vibrant red blooms and exceptional resilience in Australian conditions. Producing masses of small, tubular flowers from spring through to late autumn, this variety delivers long-lasting colour and strong visual impact in garden beds, borders, and containers. Its fine, aromatic foliage forms a neat, bushy mound, providing year-round structure even when not in peak flower. Well suited to Melbourne’s climate, it thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and demonstrates excellent drought tolerance once established. Regular light pruning encourages dense growth and continuous flowering. Highly attractive to bees and birds, ‘Navajo Red’ is an ideal choice for low-maintenance, water-wise gardens seeking extended seasonal interest.
