It is very attractive to beneficial insects and hummingbirds. Scarlet Sage has an erect habit with branches producing multiple spikes of brilliant red 1 inch blooms that whorl along the stem.
Scarlet Sage is very nice in naturalized settings and in wildlife gardens. It benefits from deadheading to encourage continuous blooming, but if a few blooms are left to seed, it will produce new plants.
It is not considered to be invasive. Salvia seed can be started indoors 8 – 10 weeks before the last frost. Or, for areas with a very long growing season, start the seed outdoors after danger of frost has passed. Prepare a seedbed by loosening the top 2 inches of soil and weeding. Cover the seed with 1/16 inch of soil. Keep seed moist until germination. With a temperature of 68 - 75F, germination is usually within 30 days. Space the plants 12 - 18 inches apart. Grow in full sun to partial shade and in moist but well-draining soil. Salvia is usually resistant to deer.
