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. The foliage has a fine texture and is lightly aromatic when crushed. The plant’s defining characteristic is its velvety, tubular flowers borne on long spikes that rise above the foliage. These blooms are vibrant purple and create a striking contrast against the silvery-green backdrop. 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.

Salvia Midnight is a hardy and easy-to-maintain plant. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Watering should be moderate; allow the soil to dry between waterings, as the plant is drought-tolerant once established.

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.

I have searched many sites for a product that will fit on our sink for all our kitchen and dishwashing needs and I finally found this product which proper fits with our kitchen decor and fits perfectly on our sink and it is very strong. I’m not worried about it breaking it anyway. Well with the price.

Love it
Color: Mattle Black
We'd been looking for a sponge holder we liked for a while andy wife came across this one. We were not disappointed. It's plenty big to hold a handful of sponges and scrubbers, plus our hand soap. I like the design that lets excess water drip back into the sink. Looks pretty low profile and sleek too
