Salvia Plant: Flamboyant, Long-Blooming, Pollinator-Friendly Flowers and Aromatic Foliage

Transform your garden with the vibrant allure of Salvia plants. Known for their flamboyant, long-lasting blooms and aromatic foliage, Salvias are a must-have for any garden enthusiast. These plants are a delight for the senses and a magnet for pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.

 

Key Features:

  • Flamboyant Blooms: Enjoy a spectacular display of flowers in brilliant shades of blue, purple, pink, red, white, or yellow. Salvia’s flower spikes bloom from late spring through fall, often until the first frost.
  • Pollinator Magnet: Salvia’s nectar- and pollen-rich flowers attract and sustain bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making them perfect for native, butterfly, or pollinator gardens.
  • Aromatic Foliage: The foliage varies widely in shape, texture, and color, adding an extra layer of interest to your garden.
  • Versatile Growth: Salvia includes herbs, subshrubs, and shrubs that can grow rapidly to between 1 and 5 feet tall and wide. Most are perennial in warm climates and often grown as annuals in colder regions.
