Salvia spathacea, Hummingbird Sage
Out of stock
Like many other species of salvia, Hummingbird Sage is a magnet for pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and, of course, hummingbirds! This attractive sage is notable for its bold pink and red flowering spikes and pleasant fragrance. It spreads by rhizomes and over time can cover a large area, making it a popular groundcover plant.
Hummingbird Sage grows well in shade and part-shade. In its natural environment, it’s often found under trees and large shrubs. It is drought tolerant and can survive without summer irrigation once established but it may look pretty dead. Some supplemental water or fall rains will green it up again.
