Salvia farinacea is a wonderful perennial native plant that can take the heat and the cold like a champ.
Here in North Central Texas, it blooms all summer if cut back after each bloom period.
It goes dormant in the winter but comes back early in the spring with renewed vigor. It can live for at least ten years, maybe longer and it performs best with plenty of sun.
I love this plant. Smiling
