Mojave Purple Sage | Salvia splendens ‘Mojave Purple’ | Scarlet Sage ‘Mojave Purple’ | Salvia ‘Mojave Purple’
Mojave Purple Sage is a compact, sun-loving tender perennial (grown as an annual in cooler climates) selected for its dense, upright spikes of deep purple, tubular flowers that sit cleanly above lush, dark green foliage. This high-utility selection from the Mojave series delivers a highly uniform, well-branched habit, exceptional heat tolerance, and nonstop flowering from early summer until frost. Its nectar-rich blossoms reliably draw hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees, making it a hardworking addition to pollinator gardens, mixed containers, mass plantings, and sunny landscape borders. Built for performance in hot conditions, Mojave Purple provides rugged durability and consistent, bold color with minimal maintenance, grounding the garden with reliable plants that nourish the soul through enduring beauty.
Growing Mojave Purple Sage
-
Light: Full sun to partial shade; produces the most abundant blooms and a tighter habit in full sun, but highly appreciates light afternoon shade in regions with extremely hot summer climates.
-
Soil: Average, well-drained soil; highly adaptable to various soil types but performs best in organically rich, loamy mixtures and will not tolerate soggy conditions.
-
Water: Moderate; water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially in extreme heat or when grown in containers, but do not allow the roots to become waterlogged.
-
Maintenance: Low maintenance. Deadheading spent flower spikes is not strictly required but encourages an even more prolific and continuous bloom while maintaining a tidy appearance.
-
Wildlife: Highly attractive to hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees; generally resistant to deer and rabbits.
-
Hardiness: Perennial in USDA zones 10–11; grown as a fast-growing annual in cooler regions.
