The electric color combination of rich purple flowers and vivid lime-green calyces makes Salvia mexicana ‘Limelight’ one of the most eye-catching sages you can grow. This bold Mexican sage sends up upright flower spikes with 2.5" blooms that positively glow against the chartreuse calyces, creating a late-season display that looks dramatic, fresh, and wonderfully unexpected.

Growing into a big, handsome plant, ‘Limelight’ Salvia is a fabulous choice for sunny borders, pollinator gardens, cottage plantings, large containers, and mixed shrub borders where fall color is especially welcome. Hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies adore the nectar-rich blooms, while the strong vertical stems make a brilliant accent among grasses, dahlias, roses, purple foliage, and other long-blooming perennials.

Plant Salvia mexicana ‘Limelight’ in full sun to part shade with rich, well-drained soil and regular water for best bloom. Give it room, then let it be fabulous. Explore more fragrant, pollinator-friendly favorites in our Salvia - Sage collection.
