Salvia, Texas Hummingbird Sage
Salvia, Texas Hummingbird Sage
Welcome to the pollinator party! Bet you can tell by the name of this variety what pollinators love this sage the most....Hummingbirds!!
The scarlet red flower spikes open over a period of weeks to adorn this open and airy sage. Attractive to their namesake hummingbirds, these are excellent insectary and nectar plants. Oh and did we mention they're drought tolerant AND bloom thru the fall? Sounds like a win for all, right??
Texas Hummingbird Sage grows to 2-3' and thrives in full sun with well-draining soil. Drought tolerant once established. We've pinched the seedlings to encourage branching (yay!).
