White Autumn Sage

Salvia greggii 'White Autumn Sage'

Autumn sage is a small, herbaceous perennial or somewhat woody sub-shrub in the Lamiaceae (mint) family. Growing 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, it is native to Texas and found mainly on rocky slopes. Different cultivars offer flower colors from red to coral, and some are mixed with white. Salvia, the genus name, comes from the Latin word salveo, meaning ‘be well’. Greggi is in honor of Josiah Gregg, a botanist and explorer, who discovered the plant on an exploration through Texas.

Growing White Autumn Sage

• Plant in well-draining soil, such as a mix of garden soil, perlite, and compost or well-rotted manure, to prevent waterlogging.
• Provide full sun for best flowering.
• Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
• Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth.
• Fertilize lightly in spring with a balanced fertilizer to support healthy growth and flowering.
• Protect from frost during the colder months, especially in regions with harsh winters.
