Heatwave™ Blaze Sage is a heat-tolerant ornamental perennial sage (a Salvia hybrid) prized for its long season of rich, dark crimson flowers that bloom from spring through fall. It’s a standout choice for gardeners who want vibrant color and pollinator-friendly blooms in water-wise or dry gardens. Flowers best in full sun and moist well-drained soils. Drought tolerant once established.
