Hummingbird Sage Salvia spathacea
Hummingbird Sage, or Salvia spathacea is a magnet for pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and you guessed it— hummingbirds! This spectacular sage is recognized for its bright pink and red flowering spikes and pleasant aroma. It spreads by rhizomes and over time can cover a large area, making it a popular groundcover plant. It naturally grows well in shade and part-shade, so it’s perfect for planting under trees. It is drought tolerant and survives without summer irrigation once established. Supplemental water will keep the leaves green.
