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.

Its nectar-rich blooms are highly attractive to hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.  

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. It prefers well-drained  specialized  soil, opens in a new tab with a slightly sandy or loamy texture. 

If grown indoors, the plant should be kept in bright light with temperatures between 60–75°F.

For outdoor cultivation, it is hardy in USDA zones 8–11, where it can withstand light frosts but not prolonged freezing conditions.

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. 

Overall, the Purple Mexican Sage ‘Salvia leucantha Midnight’ is a versatile and visually stunning plant that offers a wealth of benefits. Its striking purple blooms, low-maintenance nature, and ability to attract pollinators make it an excellent choice for a variety of garden styles. With proper care, it will provide years of vibrant color and ecological support, cementing its place as a garden favorite.

Shows wear quickly
Color: Multicolor/Sheep & Cow, Size: Medium
These are cute but not holding up as well as I had hoped. Quality is ok and the Velcro has held up great. The fabric just isn’t as good as it could be. They are much larger than expected.

Best dog toy! Most dog toys lady maybe a week or less but this one has been going strong for almost 2 months. Both the squeekers still work on both toys i purchased. My vizsla loves ti squeek and carry it around. We added an empty water bottle in the pocket cavity for some extra fun! Yes, we are still on the same water bottle! Fantastic durability.

Best toy for Fetch, Inside and outside. I have multiple of them!
Color: Colors May Vary, Size: 5.5 Inch
Size: LARGE This is hands-down my favorite toy for playing fetch/exercising my dog. I've already bought 2 of these, and I am buying a third because the first one is being rotated out (it got baked by the sun after 3 years outside haha). My Story: My dog LOVES to play. All the time. Inside and outside (well duh, all dogs do). But this toy allows me to play inside while not worrying too much about breaking things. My dog has grown out of his "chew to DESTROY it!" phase, so he is able to keep his toys for a long time. I hate touching toys after they've been slobbered all over, it keeps me from playing with him! There are so many toys that become slippery or slimy after just one throw! But THIS is a great toy because you are able to pick it up with one finger, and just fling it really easily, without getting your hands all gross. In fact, when i'm playing outside with my dog, I actually KICK these (large or jumbo size only) instead of throwing them. They are perfect for that! and I can get a good kick and consistent placement every time with this thing. And then, I don't have to touch it with my hands AT ALL! Reasons I love it: - Non-destructive Indoor Play: I like that this thing keeps its shape, but when it hits things, it just doinks off really lightly and doesn't cause any marks or damage to walls, windows, etc. Note: my house is also not full of knick-knacks or delicate items placed all around that are in harm's way. I'm sure it could knock down some little glass vases if it made contact. The point is, if you place your throws well, you are very unlikely to damage anything in your house (besides your wood floors from your dog's nails sliding all around haha). - Quiet: When you kick/throw this toy, and then it lands on the ground/hardwood, it doesn't sound like a bomb went off in your house. It lands softly and lightly, as if you tossed a half-empty toilet paper roll. I have hardwood at my house, so when I play with other toys, they land on the floor and go BOOM as if you just dropped a 20lb weight! If someone else is playing with my dog with other toys and i'm in the other room, it nearly scares the pants off me. I run in and say, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON --oh, you're just playing! so cute. Sorry, continue on." - Slobber-Free: You don't have to touch the slobbery part in order to throw it or kick it to your dog! Very easily kick-able; it's my preferred method of playing fetch (least energy for me, although I should be the one running, ha). - Easy to catch: Super easy for my dog to catch. He should be a wide receiver cuz he catches things that, when I kick it, while it's in the air i'm thinking, "AW CRAP, that's way too far..... OH WAIT, he got it?!?! noiiice!" Makes an amateur "quarterback" proud lol. - Price: It's not $20 per ball! Some toys are $20 and they make you REALLY have to think ... "Does he REALLY need this toy....??" the answer is always NO, (because he has a million toys that are perfectly good). And then I waver so long on the purchase that I forget it even exists! - Longevity: If your dog is past the "MUST.DESTROY.ALL.THINGS!" stage, then it will last a long time. After 3 years, I'm finally replacing/rotating-out the first one I bought 3 years ago. It has been in the sun, rain, winter, mud; everything. I could still use it; it's totally usable! I was just like, "Eh, why not get a new one?" Honestly, you can never have too many of these. seriously. - Light, Easily Portable: I always pack these in my dog bag. They are light, and they can smoosh into the bag to a smaller size if my bag is full. No problem. - Least-annoying toy that your dog brings to you: My dog likes to HINT that he wants to play by bringing his toys and setting them in my lap (wherever i am). With most of his other toys, my reaction is, "GROSS! it's already so slimy!" and I flick it off of me. This Hole-Y Roller is light and not slimy so you can quickly fling it for your dog without getting side-tracked from whatever “unimportant human activity” you’re doing.

Fun with a creative twist
Color: Colors May Vary, Size: 5.5 Inch
This would be a toy to get creative with. The quality is there. It’s a nice size it rolls so it’s great as just a bowl that’s slightly rubbery silicone like that the dog can play with and chew a bit. If you have a strong tour, and you believe that they chew everything that you give them eventually they would probably chew it open. Our puppy likes it plays with that as a typical ball. It’s perfect because he can grab it in his mouth and walk around with it lightly and easily. We do take a kitchen towel. Roll it with treats and shove it inside and he’ll have to try and retrieve that that towel with the treats so it kind of gives us a few minutes of peacefulness. You can create so many different fun games with it because you have access to place things inside you know the holes are slightly big so the items inside would have to be of a good size. We have put his his large wishbones inside to allow for him not to have to hold the bone and it gives him some sort of structure as well as if it rolls away, he finds it to be a game so that’s nice. It’s made well. It’s good quality. I like how it’s blue so the dog could see the color and it’s easy to store cause it’s not huge.
