Comment

Attractive to bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. Deadhead to promote more blooms. Apply slow-release fertilser once in spring.

Available from Shoot. Further details about Salvias and new salvia books. Further information and photos about fuchsias and salvias from the Pacific Bulb Society.

Safeguard against winter losses by rooting cuttings.
