The Midnight Mexican sage is native to central and eastern Mexico. It is a fast grower, reaching 3-4′ in height and 4-6′ in width. It loves sun and does not need much water to thrive. It blooms year-round near the coast. This sage benefits from heavy pruning in late winter to maintain its shape. Since it flowers so profusely, you can snip off multiple dark purple blooms for a colorful and long-lasting cut flower arrangement. It is deer tolerant and attracts butterflies, bees, and other pollinators.
