I can only grow black and blue salvia here due to the high humidity and heat
It does well here and its in morning sun no afternoon sun.
It will take semi moist soil ...
I was growing Blue Ensign here for years gorgeous tall salvia.. We had two nights below 20 here this winter in January and it killed the salvia and also a phlox and a clematis..
That rarely happens here but it did happen this year..
Very sad over losing y blue ensign salvia, Ramona clematis and Pink Garden phlox.
Its feeding my hummers each year from May to October in south alabama.
It overwinters here if not in a wet ground area.
I wish I could grow a red tubular salvia here in lower zone 8
does anyone know one.. that can stand the hot summers and humidity
I do not have sandy soil...and I know they like sandy soil.
All the tubular red salvias I have seen online do not do well
in our area..
Any advice? Sheri
