With an exceptionally extended blooming season, the dense, compact foliage is ignited by masses of fiery cherry-red flowers. Salvia Arctic Blaze Red earned the 'Plants of Distinction' award from the University of Georgia Trial Gardens, standing out as a remarkable variety. These low-maintenance Salvia perennials thrive in full sun, loving the heat, and not only draw butterflies but also fend off deer. After flowering, a trim promotes fresh growth and blooms.
