Product Description:
Very hard to find! The scent is top notch!
Salvia dorisiana, also known as Fruit-Scented Sage or Peach Sage, is a delightful perennial shrub native to Honduras. It grows to a height of 1-1.3 meters (3-5 feet) and is heavily branched. The leaves are large, fuzzy, pale green, and heart-shaped, giving off a fruity scent when brushed or crushed. The plant produces large magenta-pink flowers that bloom in winter, with a lime-green calyx about the same length as the flowers. The entire plant is covered in hairs whose glands release a pleasant pineapple-grapefruit scent. Native to Honduras, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soils. It is prized for its sweet fragrance, lovely chartreuse leaves, and attractive flowers making it a great addition to mixed borders, beds, and containers. It is also deer-resistant and attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds

Ships in 3" pots. You will receive a plant similar to the ones pictured, though size and fullness may vary. Please understand that shipped plants have bumpy rides. A few broken leaves or small stems are normal during shipping and are not considered damage. Broken stems can be rooted once the cut end dries to start new growth. Plants may arrive semi‑dormant, and in winter they may naturally drop a few leaves. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it. Please contact us with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery. After 24 hours, plant care becomes the buyer’s responsibility, though we’re always happy to answer questions and help you succeed. We also add brief instructions on getting started when you open your box. We want our plant babies to have happy new homes! 🥰

 

Heat packs are available to purchase in our shop for cold-sensitive plants. Keep in mind some plants we carry are very tropical and even cold, not freezing, temperatures can kill them. 📌IF YOU EXPECT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE PURCHASE A HEAT PACK! 📌 These are necessary for winter shipping, so I sell them at cost. I won't refund or replace any frozen plants unless you buy one!
