Description: Scarlet Sage, known for its vibrant scarlet red flowers, is a perennial that thrives in warm climates and is treated as an annual in cooler zones. Native to Texas and the southern United States, it blooms prolifically from spring to fall, attracting hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees with its nectar-rich flowers. This plant is ideal for garden borders, wildflower gardens, and as a colorful addition to pollinator-friendly spaces.
Planting Tips:
- Plant in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter.
- Space plants about 12-18 inches apart.
- Water regularly, especially during prolonged dry spells, to keep the soil moist but not soggy.
- Deadheading spent blooms can encourage further flowering and manage self-seeding.
