Texas Sage
Salvia coccinea
A North American native -- also known as Scarlet Sage -- grown as a garden ornamental that attract pollinators.
Texas, or Scarlet Sage, is grown as a tender annual for full sun. Native from tropical America into the southern United States, this species has been grown as an ornamental in North American gardens since the middle of the nineteenth century. The spreading plants reach two to three feet and produce slender spikes of scarlet flowers from mid-summer until the first frost in autumn.
In Bloom at Monticello is made possible by support from The Richard D. and Carolyn W. Jacques Foundation.
