Lepechinia hastata

This is a great Salvia-esque plant. It actually is related to Salvias, which you can see by the shape of the flowers, which are a vibrant magenta-red. It blooms Summer through Fall & hummingbirds love the flowers. Lepechinia is native to Hawaii & does have a very tropical look with its large, felty, grey leaves. But it actually tolerates low water. Reaching 4’ tall, it likes full sun & is hardy to 0 degrees F. Like a lot of Salvias, this plant is deer resistant.
