Salvia splendens (Salvia)
×
Color Name: Saucy Coral
Salvia Saucy Coral boasts an abundance of striking, tubular flowers that are an enchanting coral hue. These vibrant blossoms are beautifully complemented by rich green foliage, creating a mesmerizing contrast. The flowers are arranged in tall spikes, creating a visually arresting display that is irresistible to pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
Salvias are known for their aromatic, attractive foliage in many different sizes, shapes, and hues, as well as for their bold, colorful blooms that flower over a long period. They are heat and drought tolerant and loved by hummingbirds!
Growing Tips: You can easily trim salvia to keep the shape or size where you want it. Doing so will encourage it to branch out and become thicker and more full of flowers. Regular watering and fertilizing will keep the plant at maximum color and growth. We suggest fertilizing every two weeks during the hot summer months of June, July and August with Maxsea, which you can purchase at Zehr's. Once established, salvia is amazingly tough and will tolerate lower levels of food and water. However, severe drought will cause lower leaves to drop. If this happens, give it a quick haircut removing the upper 1/3 of growth. Once it is back to normal moisture levels, it will fill in nicely.
