I've grown Salvia greggii 'Pink Preference' for so long that I don't remember when and where I got it. It has been planted in the ground in one of my front-yard flower beds. The flower bed is bordered by the driveway, the sidewalk that's parallel to the street, and two of the sides are bordered by grass. I have rocks that edge the flowerbed. The small to large size rocks are mostly flat and stacked.

I love the color, which is a bright rosy-pink. I've grown lighter pink salvias before, but this one is bright enough that it stands out. I'm thinking about getting a couple more. I love that the flowers attract the hummingbirds and butterflies.

It's always survived our zone 6a winters, and it's nice that it does because a lot of Autumn Sages (Salvia greggii) are only hardy to zone 7.
