Salvia splendens
Big, showy spikes of tubular flowers surrounded by colorful bracts begin to bloom early, continuing well into the fall. Hummingbirds and pollinating insects adore Mojave salvias. Well-branched, 8-12 in. plants stay tidy and compact, and tolerate high heat, humidity and drought. Mojave salvias grow well in containers, along sunny walkways, or mass planted in garden beds.

Blooms appear two weeks earlier, and hold better in wind and rain, than other salvias of this type. Flowering begins in as little as 50 days from seed. Summer Jewel salvias produce highly uniform plants, which are excellent in containers, beds, or mixed borders.
