| Positive | akitakitty | On Mar 26, 2013, akitakitty from Gonzales, LA wrote: Love this salvia for all the reasons below and just because I love ALL salvias. My only beef is I have to replace it every year. Have never been able to over-winter. Does anybody know if it will survive with layer of thick mulch in 9a zone? |

It's the top hummingbird attractor in my yard from August through October. It is a pleasant 2-3 ft. high "filler" with deep green smooth foliage when not in bloom. It rooted very easily in a few weeks from cuttings, and I "sprigged" it all over the back yard. I also like the intensely carmine-red, fuzzy, cylindrical blooms...I can spot them from 20 yards away on my porch! |

It does very well in Houston in light shade and it is rather thirsty until well established. It will wilt in heavy sun but bounces right back with plenty fo water. The deep red blooms are like stop lights for the ruby throated hummingbird that migrate through our area each fall. The folliage is also very nice/different. This is a must-have saliva for light shade in zone 9. It will die back with a freeze but appears to be root hardy. |
