A hybrid of Salvia mexicana and Salvia gesneriiflora discovered by Andy Maycem, it combines striking blooms with attractive thick, hairy, deeply veined leaves. The foliage is deep green above and velvety purple beneath, creating a delightful contrast as the leaves move in the breeze. Butterflies and hummingbirds visit the flowers, while its deer resistance makes it a practical choice for sunny garden borders. This tall, tender perennial appreciates protection from severe winter cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerennial; tall, tender, winter-flowering border plant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHybrid of Salvia mexicana and Salvia gesneriiflora, discovered by Andy Maycem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeer resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep purple flowers with near-black bracts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlooms from late fall through early spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThick, hairy, deeply veined leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep green upper foliage with velvety purple undersides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts butterflies and hummingbirds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent for sunny borders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtect from severe winter cold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrowing Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 3–4 ft | Spread: 3–4 ft\u003cbr\u003eExposure: Full sun | Water: Moderate to dry\u003cbr\u003eBloom time: Late fall–early spring | Bloom color: Deep purple with near-black bracts\u003cbr\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zone: 7–11\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Russian River Rootworks","offers":[{"title":"4\"","offer_id":44081782587446,"sku":"SALVIA-X-RASPBERRY-TRUFFLE-AVAIL-20250820-4IN","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 Gal","offer_id":44147770753078,"sku":"SALVIA-X-RASPBERRY-TRUFFLE-AVAIL-20250820-1GAL","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/4693\/0486\/files\/096d3d.jpg?v=1791468103","url":"https:\/\/russianriverrootworks.com\/products\/salvia-raspberry-truffle-sage","provider":"Russian River Rootworks ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
