Description:

36” x 18’ wide (cutting propagated) What a superb hybrid this has proven itself to be! The luscious cherry colored flowers begin in early summer and continue through fall until hard frost. A cross between Salvia microphylla and Salvia greggii, Maraschino enjoys garden conditions with enriched, well-drained soil and regular irrigation during hot, dry weather. Unlike most Salvia greggii varieties, Maraschino prefers afternoon shade in hotter climates. Although this is one of the most cold hardy bush Salvias (see description of Salvia ‘Furmans Red’ for additional information), you will have fantastic garden performance in hot, humid climates too! Zones 6-10.

Special Notes:

Plant with Nepeta, Lavender and Iberis ‘Little Gem’!
