Description
This wildflower is a close relative of the red salvia we all know as a common bedding plant—the very formal spike of fire engine red flowers on small upright plants. These meadow plants are less formal and more suited to growing in a natural wild garden. When in bloom, this one adds great meadow color.

    Comments about American Meadows Scarlet Sage Seeds - 1/4 LB:

    I saw how the hummingbirds were attracted to this plant two years ago. Last year I planted it in all of my pots against the house and the patio doors. we had a Forrest of green and red with dozens of humming birds visiting. this plant is super easy, just water it. it grows very well and no trouble. it is one of the last plants to die in the winter too long lasting i am buying double the amount this year .

    • Primary use:
    • Personal

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
