Such an unusual and adaptable colour for this little Mexican sage - we can see this shade working with so many colour palettes and garden styles. It will give you flowers right through the warmer months until first frosts. This apricot-flowered sage grows in the wild in rocky soils and hot dry places - you can see it alongside a cactus in the image gallery - so it should thrive in most Aussie back yards.
