Overview

Cedar Sage (Salvia roemeriana) is a vibrant, shade-loving perennial. With its striking red blossoms, it reaches 1-2 feet tall and spans equally wide. This Texas native thrives in well-drained soils and under the canopy of trees, similar to its native limestone cliffs. Blooms emerge in spring to mid-summer, attracting hummingbirds. Cedar Sage is low maintenance and adapts well to xeriscaping, adding a splash of color to shaded garden spots.
