Description
Winner of several All-America Selections awards, this salvia will attract hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies to your garden! Abundant blooms cover plants from spring until frost.
Summer Jewel flowers early and produces generous spikes that continue to blossom from spring to autumn. Plants are densely branched, producing a tidy habit that excels in both garden beds and containers.
Plants grow 18" to 20" inches tall and make stellar border plantings, color bed plantings and also grow well in containers. Suitable for woodland gardens and meadow plantings, Salvia grows in part shade or full sun and tolerates moist soil as long as it is well drained. This unbeatable flowering plant thrives in almost all conditions, is exceptionally long blooming and is heat, humidity and drought tolerant once roots are established. Hardy in zones 7-10, however, it is grown as an annual in all other zones.
Well loved as a cut flower, this variety makes an excellent addition of textural vertical interest in bouquets and arrangements.
