Firelight glows rather than shouts. Dense, upright salvia spikes blend creamy white, rich coral, and rose-red, creating a warm progression of color that shines in sunny beds and summer containers.
The uniform 12–18-inch plants stay compact while offering a steady supply of pollen and nectar. Bumblebees work the blossoms close up, hummingbirds hover above them, and clipped stems add lively texture to arrangements.
