Description

Salvia guaranitica 'Purple & Bloom' is a striking anise‑scented sage with vibrant purple tubular flowers set against dramatic black calyces on upright, branching stems. Reaching 3–4 ft tall and wide, it blooms abundantly from summer into fall, attracting hummingbirds and butterflies. A more compact cultivar (about 25 % smaller than its 'Black & Bloom' predecessor), it thrives in heat, humidity, and drought while tolerating varied soils when well‑drained. Hardy to USDA Zone 8 (possibly Zone 7 with protection), it’s ideal for landscapes and containers, with low maintenance once established.

Vivid purple tubular flowers contrasted by deep black calyces, creating a dramatic visual display.
Compact yet floriferous habit (~25 % smaller than ‘Black & Bloom’) ideal for mixed borders or containers.
Exceptional heat, humidity, and drought tolerance, with extended bloom season into fall.
