Sage
Introduced in 2018 from an Australian breeding program, SKYSCRAPER Orange sage is a tender hybrid perennial that will keep up its floral display well into fall with occasional dead-heading of spent flowers. With well-branched, bushy habits, plants will grow to 28 inches tall and prefer full sun. Potted plants should be fertilized occasionally to keep up their vigor. Flowers grow in spikes reaching well above the foliage and the long, tubular flowers pop out of dark red-orange calyxes with a green base. The flowers provide nectar for hummingbirds. There are also pink and purple varieties.
