Comments:
Salvia coccinea 'Coral Nymph' or Scarlet Sage or Texas Sage or
Hummingbird Sage or Cherry Blossom is an
interesting self-seeding plant
that survives well in my garden. This perennial is a repeat
bloomer till the first frost and is a bees, hummingbirds and butterflies
attractant.
Trim back to maintain shape and promote more blooms.
Salvia coccinea 'Coral Nymph' plants are very easy to grow and they look
very nice when grown in masses.
I
mulch them well for the winter.
