Angel Wings Salvia is a compact, deer-resistant flowering shrub that brings continuous color to summer and fall gardens from June through November. This half-hardy cultivar reaches just 24 to 30 inches tall and spreads 24 to 36 inches wide, making it an excellent choice for mixed borders, containers, and pollinator gardens in zones 7. Its flowers attract bees and butterflies throughout the warm months, while its drought tolerance and moderate water needs mean it thrives with minimal fussing once established.

This compact salvia blooms for six consecutive months, from early summer straight through to late fall, filling gardens with color during the season when many other plants are fading. Deer avoid it entirely, so it provides reliable color even in areas where browsing is a constant challenge. Its natural drought tolerance and resistance to many common garden pests make it one of the easiest salvias to grow, rewarding gardeners with abundance for minimal input.
Angel Wings Salvia is grown as an ornamental flowering plant for garden borders, mixed plantings, and container displays where its long bloom season and compact habit provide continuous color and pollinator interest throughout the growing season.
