Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Another gorgeous Salvia greggii/microphylla hybrid selected for heat and drought tolerance, with the durability of S. greggii, and the compact, densely flowering habit of S. microphylla. Once established, water occasionally, more if planted in containers or in extreme heat. The fast growing, intense deep red flower spikes are favored by hummingbirds. Removing spent spikes will encourage new, aromatic foliage and flower production. Great for containers, borders, green roofs and mass planting. A fire wise and deer resistant beauty! PP24151
