Salvia leucantha 'Santa Barbara' – Dwarf Mexican Bush Sage
Santa Barbara is a compact, garden-sized selection of Mexican Bush Sage producing the same stunning velvety purple and white flower spikes as the full-sized species, but in a more restrained 2–3 foot habit that is far better suited to smaller gardens, containers, and front-of-border placements. The plush, velvet-textured calyces in rich purple contrast beautifully with the white corollas in a classic combination that peaks in fall. Drought and deer tolerant, easy to grow, and a long-lived fixture in warm California gardens.
Key Features:
- Velvety purple calyces with white corollas — classic Mexican sage combination in fall
- Compact dwarf habit — 2–3 ft, better suited to smaller gardens than the species
- Exceptional drought and deer tolerance
- Excellent for borders, containers, and cut or dried flower arrangements
- Long-lived, easy to grow in warm climates
