Salvia Greggii 
New, Hardy, Everblooming 
Red Flowering Shrub 
A Native of the Cold, Arid 
Mountains of West Texas 
Extremely hardy. Has withstood a temperature of ten degrees below zero. Is 
a great drouth resister. It flourishes and blooms profusely in the hottest and driest 
weather. It is as near an everblooming plant as we have ever seen. It begins to 
bloom in early spring soon after growth commences. The blossoms literally cover 
the plant for two months or more. Then for a few months it does not bloom so 
freely, but is perhaps never without some flowers. In the fall it puts on another 
full crop of blossoms that continue till long after the early frosts have set in. It 
requires a killing freeze to check its flowering. 
The color is an indescribable lovely shade of red. It is a dark soft cerise crim¬ 
son, much the color of a well grown American Beauty rose. It has none of the 
harsh, glaring shades of the Salvia splendens. The beautiful color is perhaps the 
most attractive feature of this novelty. 
It is a hard-wooded shrub. Grows three to four feet high and three to four feet 
wide in a compact globe, very full and neat in appearance. It is beautiful when 
massed in a solid bed. and is as useful as the Spirea Van Houttei for bordering 
shrub beds. It is not so tall, but as compact and graceful as the Spirea, and in 
addition it is a blaze of beautiful red nearly all the season. 
The very important question as to where it will grow has not been fully demon¬ 
strated, though we are fully convinced it will succeed in nearly every state of the 
union. Young plants in Philadelphia, Pa., Lexington, Mass., North Abington, 
Mass., and Parsons, Kansas, went through last winter in the open ground without 
protection. We have never heard of their being damaged by the cold weather any¬ 
where, but we do not know of their being exposed to anything colder than ten de¬ 
grees below zero.
