Not a good year for Salvia's

Got 5% germination on these. And that was using heating pads and under grow lights, with light misting only when soil was dry. No sign of problems, just terrible germination.

Great plants, hummingbird magnets!

So easy to grow and it self sows through the summer so you get more plants and flowers.You can dead head it or just let it go. My goldfinches and some of the other birds love the seed too, so don't deadhead too much. I'm trying the white and lavender colors this year also.

Great hummingbird flower. Blooms all summer. One of my top ten flowers for the garden.

The best salvia for hot and humid climates

I found this salvia some time ago before Park's has introduced it for sale. There are 3 colors I know of this type of salvia coccinea: Lady in Red (red), Coral Nymph (pink), and Snow Nymph (white). It is also called Texas sage. It is one of the easiest most prolific bloomers of all the salvia's I have grown. It is a definite hummingbird and butterfly magnate. It reseed's itself easily. I assume Summer Jewel Red is very similar to Lady in Red.
