Salvia

The salvias are a diverse genus containing both annuals and perennials of several shapes and sizes.  Annual varieties are listed below.

Salvia coccinea

Spacing: 10-12"        Height: 18-30"            Exposure: full sun 

Graceful and informal; tolerates summer heat and drought.  Flowers through fall; keep it happy by deadheading & feeding and the hummingbirds will sing your praises; will reseed if content; Georgia Gold Winner for 2002. Upright plant habit. 

Spacing: 10-12"         Height: 18-24"           Exposure: Full sun    

This descendant of wildflowers is a tender perennial in our area.  Similar to 'Lady-in-Red' in habit; brings in the butterflies; again deadheading & feed important for vigor.

Salvia farinacea

Spacing: 10-12"    Height: 36"         Exposure: sun to partial shade         

This tall farinacea-type salvia from Danziger earned a 5.0/5.0 at the UGA Trial Garden in Summer 2009.

Spacing: 10-12"    Height: 18-24"      Exposure: sun to partial shade

Plants have  about an  18" spread and an informal habit. The deep blue flowers run up and down 8"-10" flower spikes. The grayish-green foliage is also attractive. Blooms all summer long when fed adequately.

Spacing: 10-12"     Height: 12-15"    Exposure: sun to partial shade

Dwarf and earlier to bloom; due to short stature don't use behind mid-size plant material; if adequately fed no deadheading will be needed.  Lack of fertilizer or water stress will decrease blooming significantly.
