I have grown these plants for the past 3-4 yrs. In our area, since we've not had much rain, I water them about every 3-4 days. Pinching off the blooms about ever 2 weeks causes them to bloom more and also causes the plant to grow larger. This attracts many humming birds!! They're fun to watch!

This plant has grown just fine for me in the past and is easy care and colorful, but I really do prefer to grow salvia coccinea 'lady in red'. The habit is more attractive and elegant, imo.
