A Hummingbird Favorite, October 17, 2007
Submitted by KJHummer

"I first saw this salvia at my local garden center. It was being visited by a hummingbird moth at the time. I was really drawn to the red flower spikes and obviously the moth was, too. I grabbed two six packs of it and fit them into spots all around my foundation in hopes I would draw the hummingbirds and butterflies close to the house. It definately worked! Plus the plants grew and thrived despite unseasonably hot, dry weather. In fact, they are blooming even now-the middle of October in Ohio and have survived several light frosts with no ill-effects. They appear to be readily self seeding-as I have found them showing up in between the stones on my walkway. I just let them bloom as they will. Hopefully they will make a return next season and bring the hummingbirds with them!"
