Description
Scarlet Sage
A legendarily hypnotic to hummingbirds, the tall spikes of these vivid-red tubular flowers are a prime source of nectar for bees and butterflies too.
Scarlet Sage is a deer resistant wildflower that will tolerate salty soil and loves heat. Blooms appear continuously from early summer to first frost.
History
When scarlet sage was introduced to Britain in the 1820s, it immediately became a popular bedding "annual" even though it is a perennial in its native Brazil and Mexico.

Absolutely fabulous!
I started these 2 years ago. They reseeded themselves in a pot I had them in and I saved the seeds to start in my greenhouse last winter. They germinate very well and are gorgeous in flower beds and especially aroung our flagpole. The bees and hummingbirds love them.
