The flowers can also appear as solid red, solid white, or the classic bicolor combination, often varying with temperature — cooler weather tends to produce more vivid red and white contrast. The shrubby, evergreen habit with small, aromatic leaves is attractive year-round, and the plant is exceptionally easy to grow. Deer and gopher resistant, drought tolerant once established, and irresistible to hummingbirds and butterflies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhimsical red and white bicolor blooms — also solid red or white; summer through fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor varies with temperature — more vivid contrast in cooler weather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvergreen, aromatic shrubby habit — attractive year-round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeer and gopher resistant; drought tolerant once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutstanding hummingbird and butterfly plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent for borders, containers, and cut flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 2–3 ft | Spread: 2–3 ft\u003cbr\u003eExposure: Full sun to part shade | Water: Low–moderate\u003cbr\u003eBloom time: Summer–fall | Bloom color: Red, white, or red and white bicolor\u003cbr\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zone: 8–11\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Russian River Rootworks","offers":[{"title":"4\"","offer_id":44081778229302,"sku":"SALVIA-MICROPHYLLA-HOT-LIPS-4IN","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 Gal","offer_id":44147767214134,"sku":"SALVIA-MICROPHYLLA-HOT-LIPS-1GAL","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/4693\/0486\/files\/salviahotlips.png?v=1788826748","url":"https:\/\/russianriverrootworks.com\/products\/salvia-microphylla-hot-lips-cherry-sage","provider":"Russian River Rootworks ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
