Flower Native Texas Salvia Sage Scarlet brings vibrant scarlet-red tubular flowers and upright stems to sunny garden spaces. This packet contains 2,000 non-GMO, heirloom seeds. Plants reach approximately 18 to 24 inches tall, adding vertical color to beds, borders, containers and pollinator plantings. Imagine bright flowers moving in a summer breeze while hummingbirds visit the garden.

Scarlet Sage is valued for its tolerance of warm conditions and its lower supplemental water needs once established. It can flower from early summer into fall when local conditions are favorable. Grow it as an annual in colder climates; it may behave as a tender perennial in milder locations. Returning plants and self-sowing depend on climate, seed production and garden care.

Ornamental, not culinary sage: This flower should not be substituted for culinary sage in recipes. The seeds are sold for planting, and this listing does not recommend eating the flowers, leaves or seeds.

Germination Rate: 82%. Test Date: 7/26. WSF.

Texas minimum germination standard: None.

Why Choose Scarlet Sage?

• Brilliant scarlet blooms: Tubular red flowers add vivid color and vertical interest to sunny gardens.
• Pollinator appeal: Nectar-bearing blooms attract visiting hummingbirds and butterflies.
• Heat-loving growth: A useful option for warm-season garden color when soil and watering conditions are suitable.
• Water-wise potential: Established plants can tolerate dry periods, although young seedlings need consistent establishment care.
• Extended color: Flowers can continue through a long growing season under favorable conditions.
• Open-pollinated heirloom: Allow selected flower spikes to set seed if you want to collect seed for future plantings.

Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Choose full sun for strong growth and flowering. Some partial shade can be tolerated.
• Soil: Use well-drained soil and avoid sites that remain saturated after watering or rain.
• Sowing: Direct sow after frost danger has passed or start indoors according to your local planting calendar. Press seeds lightly onto the growing medium and avoid deep burial.
• Spacing: Space plants approximately 12 to 18 inches apart for airflow and mature growth.
• Watering: Keep seedlings evenly moist without waterlogging. Once established, allow soil to dry somewhat between waterings and adjust for rainfall.
• Fertilizing: Feed lightly according to soil needs and fertilizer-label directions. Heavy feeding can favor foliage over flowers.
• Support: Plants are generally self-supporting. Choose a sheltered position if strong winds are likely to damage stems.
• Flower care: Remove spent flower spikes to tidy the display, or leave selected spikes to mature for seed collection.
• Winter care: Treat as an annual where winters are cold. Tender-perennial survival in milder climates is not guaranteed.
