'Black Cherry' is a richly colored selection of autumn sage, bearing deep, velvety cherry-red flowers that appear in abundance from spring through fall. Like other Salvia greggii cultivars, it forms a small, woody-based shrub with small, aromatic, semi-evergreen leaves. Its compact habit and intense flower color make it a standout in water-wise gardens and mixed borders.
