Salvia moorcroftiana x indica ‘Shangri-La’ (Sage) is a dazzling hybrid perennial discovered by chance at Suncrest Nurseries in Watsonville, CA. 'Shangri-La’ inherits the most appealing traits from its parentage, the high-altitude Salvia moorcroftiana (Kashmir Sage) and uniquely freckled Salvia indica (Two-lip Spotted Sage). In late spring, masses of lavender spikes adorned with light freckles rise above wide sturdy leaves on a bushy form.

‘Shangri-La’ is a versatile xeriscape perennial featuring an upright growth habit that can be used for mass plantings, in container gardens or as a standalone ornamental addition to your garden. Low maintenance and adaptable, this deer resistant variety withstands the challenges of cold, heat, high elevations, and drought.
