Red Hot Sally II Salvia
Red Hot Sally II Salvia | Scarlet Sage | Bedding Salvia | Salvia splendens
Red Hot Sally II Salvia is a bold, high-impact annual renowned for its intense, blazing red flower spikes that stand tall above deep green foliage. An improvement on the classic favorite, this variety offers a more compact, uniform habit and superior heat tolerance, ensuring the garden stays vibrant even during the dog days of summer. It is the gold standard for bedding plants, creating spectacular ribbons of color in borders, mass plantings, and containers.
Growing Red Hot Sally II Salvia
- Light: Thrives in full sun; tolerates partial shade, especially in areas with scorching afternoon heat.
- Soil: Rich, fertile, and well-draining soil; amend with organic matter for best results.
- Water: Requires consistent moisture; keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged, as it is less drought-tolerant than wild salvias.
- Maintenance: Deadhead (remove) spent flower spikes to keep the plant looking tidy and to encourage continuous blooming until frost.
- Wildlife: A magnet for hummingbirds and butterflies.
- Hardiness: USDA Zones 10–11; grown as a warm-season annual in cooler climates.
Shipping Info
