Another
of the common salvia varieties is the salvia microphylla.
This salvia is also known as baby sage, and features lovely
salmon pink blooms. The stems of these salvia varieties do
not get nearly as woody as other salvias do. Grown best in
zones seven through eleven, these salvia varieties make a
lovely perennial.
A third
of the salvia varieties are the salvia greggii. These salvia
varieties are grown best in the hot deserts of Arizona, and
feature red blooms that appear intermittently from February
through November. The salvia greggii also can be grown in
colder regions of the United States, but should then be treated
as an annual.

| There
are many different types of salvia varieties. There are salvia
varieties with blooms of nearly every color possible, from
white to black, and every color in between. No matter what
the color scheme of a garden, there exist salvia varieties
to either match or add contrast.
