Why Choose Scarlet Sage?

Scarlet sage brings vibrant color, ecological benefits, and low-maintenance charm to your garden. Its ability to thrive in full sun to part shade and attract a variety of pollinators makes it a versatile and rewarding choice for any wildlife-friendly landscape.

Planting Tips:

1. Location: Prefers full sun to part shade with well-drained soil.
2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish deep roots. Once established, reduce watering frequency.
3. Maintenance: Minimal care required. There's no need to deadhead the flowers, as allowing them to go to seed provides a valuable food source for birds. Leaving the stems standing in the fall offers overwintering sites for beneficial insects. If desired, cut back the stems in late spring after pollinators have emerged.
