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.

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.

Bouncy, not hard, and good value.
Style: Fetch Balls (Pack of 10), Size: 2.5 inch
Great balls for the ball launcher and not rockhard like some of the solid rubber balls. These have great bounce, and because of the two holes, they make a fun whistling noise as they fly through the air. My dogs love them and they are a good value. By the way, if you throw them too hard, they will go through chain-link and no climb fence because they squish a bit!

Excellent dog balls — safe design and very durable
Style: Fetch Balls (Pack of 3), Size: 2.5 inch
These fetch balls from Amazon Basics are fantastic, and my dog absolutely loves them. One of the biggest reasons I prefer these over other brands is the hole that runs through the center of the ball. This is a very important safety feature: if a dog were to accidentally get the ball stuck in the back of the throat, the hole allows air to pass through. That small detail could literally make a life-saving difference. Aside from the safety benefit, they bounce well, are easy to clean, and hold up to a lot of playtime. They’re firm but not rock-hard, and my dog goes crazy for them. Great value, great quality, and a thoughtful design. Highly recommended for dog owners who want a safer alternative to standard solid rubber balls.

Great ball for heavy chewers
Style: Assorted Balls (Pack of 3), Size: 2.5 inch
Great toy for my Doberman. She chews through tennis balls in about 15 minutes but these are very durable. She likes to chase them but also just chew on them.
