Commanding Winter bloominess! Big, bold Salvia wagneriana bursts into a massive display of large bright rosey-red blooms 6-7” long. I find it amazing this long blooming Sage is so rare in the nursery trade. It’s an excellent solution for any area that requires something large, easy, deer resistant & resplendent! It can reach 10’ x 10’ across, but for a smaller show I cut it back to the ground after it’s finished blooming & again sometime in Summer, to about 3’ tall. Bloom spikes, are rather spear shaped, with the velvety cerise flowers emerging from the bottom out of tightly held buds. Arching prominently outward from the branches & foliage, the presentation is awesome & lasts through Spring, starting many a hummingbird war! Long lived, fast & easy – just provide rich well drained soil, compost once a year & Summer water for best show!
