Life-affirming with its passionate presenting energy, Roman Red Salvia is a breathtakingly, stunning perennial with blooms in shades of red. This hybrid's color will be a wonderful addition to those who appreciate an easy, yet dramatic and eye-catching container, border, pathway, accent plant, etc. Detracts deer due to its smell, while magnetizing a plethora of pollinators, no surprise. Enjoys full sun but will tolerate part shade--so make sure to plant them somewhere they can absorb and mirror the energy of the sun!

Evergreen perennials with lovely, fragrant foliage. They are low-maintenance and require little fertilization.
