Summer Jewel White Salvia
Summer Jewel White Salvia | White Hummingbird Sage | Tropical Sage | Salvia coccinea
Summer Jewel White Salvia is a pristine, award-winning annual that brings a cooling elegance to hot summer gardens. An All-America Selections Winner, this compact variety is celebrated for its early and abundant bloom, producing spikes of pure white tubular flowers from late spring until frost. Unlike taller wild sages, it maintains a tidy, dwarf habit perfect for borders and containers. It is a rare gem in the pollinator world—a white flower that is just as attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies as its red cousins, making it an essential addition to moon gardens and mixed beds.
Growing Summer Jewel White Salvia
- Light: Thrives in full sun; appreciates partial shade in areas with intense afternoon heat.
- Soil: Fertile, well-draining soil; adaptable to sandy or loamy conditions.
- Water: Moderately drought-tolerant once established; keep soil consistently moist for the heaviest bloom production.
- Maintenance: Low maintenance; "self-cleaning" (drops spent blooms cleanly), though occasional deadheading keeps the plant looking fresh and vigorous.
- Wildlife: A premier attractor for hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies.
- Hardiness: USDA Zones 7–10; grown as a vigorous annual in cooler climates.
Shipping Info
Summer Jewel White Salvia plants are shipped in 4" nursery pots. The plants can be re-potted after they recover from shipping stress approximately 1 to 2 weeks.
