Our wintered-over salvia plants are doing well this summer.
These hardy annuals live in pots around our deck all summer and get moved inside during winter.
Salvia varieties grow about 3 feet high abd wide on sturdy stalks.
They are fast and constant bloomers.
We remove spent flowers when there are only a couple flowers left at the bottom of the flower stalk to encourage more blooms.Bees, butterflies, moths and hummingbirds regularly pay visits.
We've also seen other salvia varieties in white, blue and purple.
Don't these salvia plant flowers look like charming tiny hummingbirds?
