Darcy’s Mexican Sage – This fragrant and floriferous (a fun and fancy way to refer to a plant that flowers abundantly) perennial was first discovered in Galeana, Mexico by John Fairey and Carl Schoenfeld. The pale green foliage has a triangular, almost heart shape, and it creates a large shrub that grows up to 4 feet tall and 7 feet wide. In late spring, tall flower stalks of large bright red sage blooms emerge, which act as a beacon for hummingbirds, and will bloom repeatedly through late fall. Both the flowers and foliage have a nice fragrance to them, especially when crushed or touched. Plant in full sun and in very well-draining soil. It is reasonably drought tolerant, but will certainly need some supplemental irrigation during the summer months.
