Salvia greggii Pumpkin

Common Name:
Pumpkin Sage

Description:
Salvia greggii 'Pumpkin' is a compact, evergreen shrub renowned for its unique soft apricot to pumpkin-hued flowers. Blooming profusely from late spring through autumn, this variety adds a warm, pastel charm to garden beds, borders, and containers. Its aromatic, mid-green foliage provides a delightful contrast to the vibrant blooms, which are highly attractive to pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Thriving in full sun to part shade, 'Pumpkin' prefers well-drained soils and exhibits excellent drought tolerance once established. Its neat, mounded habit and low maintenance requirements make it an ideal choice for Melbourne gardens seeking long-lasting colour and resilience.
