(12-24" tall) Petite, fire engine-red flowers are nicely spaced along the upright stems, giving Scarlet Sage a delicate, airy feel that punctuates a garden or meadow with brilliant color. Is the breeze causing the stems to gently sway, or is it the activity of the hummingbirds, butterflies and bees called from afar to savor the sweet nectar? Native to the Southeast US, Scarlet Sage is perennial in zones 10 and 11 but happily grows as an annual where temperatures drop below freezing. It reseeds easily, making it ideal in a meadow planting or naturalized area where it can bloom all summer long. It prefers full sun but will tolerate part shade and does best in well-draining soil. Be sure to snip a handful of stems to add brilliance and fragrance to a cut flower bouquet. You won't have to share the bounty with deer — the plant is resistant to their browsing. Also known as Tropical Sage, Texas Sage, Hummingbird Sage, Blood Sage, Red Sage and Indian Fire.
