Sage, Scarlet
Salvia coccinea
Description: Scarlet Sage is a vibrant, heat-loving perennial (often grown as an annual) known for its brilliant red, tubular flowers and lush green foliage. Blooming from spring to fall, this easy-to-grow plant adds bold color to borders, pollinator gardens, and containers. Its long-lasting blooms and adaptability make it a favorite for both ornamental and wildlife-friendly landscapes.
Wildlife Benefits: Scarlet Sage is a hummingbird magnet, with its nectar-rich, tubular flowers perfectly designed to attract them. It also supports bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators throughout its long bloom season.
Medicinal Benefits: While primarily grown for its ornamental and ecological value, Scarlet Sage has been used in some traditional herbal remedies. However, it is best known for its role in pollinator conservation rather than medicinal uses.
Native Status: Native to the southeastern United States, including Georgia, Scarlet Sage thrives in warm climates and naturalized gardens.
Pollinator Friendliness: One of the best plants for hummingbirds and butterflies, Scarlet Sage provides a continuous nectar source from spring through fall, making it a must-have in pollinator-friendly landscapes.
Planting Guidelines:
Height: 18–36 inches
Spacing: 12–18 inches
Sun/Shade: Thrives in Full Sun to Partial Shade
How to Grow: Scarlet Sage prefers well-drained soil and is drought-tolerant once established. It reseeds easily, providing year-after-year color in the garden. Deadheading spent blooms encourages more flowers, but allowing some to go to seed ensures natural regeneration.
Add dazzling color, wildlife support, and low-maintenance beauty to your garden with Scarlet Sage—a stunning native plant that keeps pollinators coming back all season long.
Available in 2.5 inch and 4.25 inch (quart) pots.
