This cultivar is a presumed hybrid between Salvia 'Dara's Choice' and Salvia 'Pt. Sal Spreader' as our crops were grown from a single seedling that emerged between these two plants from our nursery that were planted in the Santa Barbara City Fire Departments Firescape Garden, and it shares traits with both of these plants. It is grayer in leaf color than Salvia 'Dara's Choice' but greener than Salvia 'Pt Sal Spreader' with the mauve flower color intermediate between the two as well. We took our first cuttings of this plant at the Firescape garden in 1992 and named and introduced it in our 1994 catalog and continued to grow it until 1999. It was a nice plant but there were other low growing sages we thought better such as the incredible Salvia 'Bee's Bliss' that we started growing in 1997. 

Information displayed on this page about Salvia 'Firescape' is based on our research conducted about this plant in our nursery library as well as from information provided by reliable online resources. We also include our own observations made about it as it has grown in the nursery gardens and other gardens visited, as well how the crops of this plant performed in the containers in our nursery field. We will also include comments received from others and welcome hearing from anyone who has information about this plant, particularly if it includes cultural information aiding others to better grow it.
