Mexican Bush Sage (Salvia leucantha) is native to Mexico and the tropical Americas. This sage produces attractive bicolor flowers consisting of white corollas and longer lasting funnel-form calyces. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit these bushes in our garden.
We cut the plant back hard in late Fall/early Winter after the main bloom cycle fades and the plant starts looking lanky and unkempt. We use hand clippers to cut the entire plant hard down to about 6-12 inches of stalk.
We have multiple plants so we stagger our pruning leaving active blooms to feed our local pollinators.
