Salvia Flare Salvia splendens Flare One of the most heat-tolerant Salvias ever! These Scarlet Blooms Can Really Take the
Heat! |
| Like huge, jagged tongues of flame, Flare's vivid scarlet-red
bloomspikes pierce the landscape with color so intense it almost
shimmers! These 18-inch plants are excellent for the landscape, standing
out even when planted behind lower-growing plants, and unbelievable in a
mass planting. One of the most heat-tolerant of this very heat-tolerant
family, Flare is the Salvia to grow in those blazing trouble spots where
little else has been successful. It is remarkably floriferous over an
extra-long season, and thrives on neglect! Like all Sage, it brings
butterflies and hummingbirds into the garden by the dozen, adding to the
color show even further.
Direct-sow this Salvia or begin the seeds indoors for even earlier blooms. Not fussy about soil, it flourishes in blazing sun to dappled shade, tolerating heat, drought, and other vagaries of the weather. In the coastal West and milder climates of the South it can be grown as a perennial. Pkt is 50 seeds. |

Salvia Lady in Red Salvia coccinea Lady in Red Tolerates heat, drought, and virtually any soil! Short Plants are Long on Scarlet Color! |
| An outstanding source of luminously-bright vertical color for the
front of the border or as edging, Lady in Red is a long-blooming,
brilliantly-colored dwarf Sage. Masses of vibrant scarlet blooms arise
along these slender, upright 12- to 16-inch spikes, filling the garden
with eye-catching color and combining well with the whites and blues of
other summer annuals.
