The Purple Mexican Sage, known as Salvia leucantha ‘Midnight,’ is a stunning perennial celebrated for its vibrant, velvety blooms and graceful, arching growth habit. A cultivar of the popular Salvia leucantha species, ‘Midnight’ is prized for its deep purple flowers that bring dramatic flair to any garden.  

Native to Mexico and Central America, the Midnight Salvia has slender, arching stems covered with narrow, lance-shaped leaves that are a soft, silvery green.

This Midnight Mexican bush sage also has an extended blooming season, from late summer to fall, ensuring months of color in the landscape.

When fully grown, the Salvia midnight Purple typically grows up to 4 feet tall and spreads equally 4 feet wide.

Its bushy growth habit and gracefully arching stems make it a standout feature in borders, mass plantings, or as a focal point in containers.

The flowers of this cultivar are a deep, velvety purple, growing in dense, elongated spikes.

These blooms provide ornamental appeal through fall, often persisting until the first frost. 

They attract attention not only for their rich color but also for their tactile softness, lending the plant its “Velvet Sage” nickname. It is a magnet for pollinators.

Pruning is recommended in late winter or early spring to encourage fresh growth and maintain a tidy shape.

It can be propagated through stem cuttings or divisions, which root readily in moist, well-draining soil.  

According to the ASPCA, Salvia leucantha and its cultivars, including ‘Midnight,’ are non-toxic to humans and pets including dogs, cats, or birds. This makes it a safe choice for gardens where pets or wildlife are frequent.

Go-To for Reef-Safe & Light-Weight Sunscreen
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Favorite sunblock to travel with. Appreciate the simplicity of it, and the fact that it rolls on and rubs in smooth. Of course the iconic scent is also a plus.

Great choice
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
After I suffered a second-degree burn from steam, I was told by my doctor that I would have to keep my new fresh skin sun-blocked for up to a year to avoid any scarring or hyper pigmentation. This has been a great selection as it is a roll-on, Which helps a lot with preventing messes that can happen with traditional sunblock bottles. I also like that it is easy to travel with, and the fact that it is zinc based.

My favorite new mineral sunscreen!
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is my favorite new mineral sunscreen! I've been searching for years for a product that is easy to apply, not messy, and doesn't show up too white. This roll-on is the perfect solution. I keep it near the front door and quickly roll the sunscreen on my hands, arms, and chest before leaving the house. The sunscreen applies so quickly and uniformly-- there are no bare spots or messy globs to rub in. Also, the roll-on keeps the sunscreen from oozing out of the tube and getting all over everything. Finally, the roll-on method also eliminates the frustration of having half-filled tubes and pumps where you can't even access the sunscreen when the tube gets low. Here's hoping this doesn't happen with the roll-on. Thank you Sun Bum for creating this wonderful product. I also love the reasonable price.

great product - it must be blended in well
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this stuff. The roll-on makes it easy to apply on the go. It leaves a white streak unless you blend it in. I don't mind the white streak - at least I know I applied the product.
