Best of Class

We believe this to be the best dwarf brilliantly colored Scarlet Sage.

Salvia splendens ‘Reddy White Surprise'

(Dwarf Scarlet Sage) New in 2011, this most unusual sage is a genetic dwarf, growing only 10 inches tall. In our experience it never stops blooming - year round in warmer climates. And the truly unique color combo of bright orange and white is amazingly eye-catching.

Grow this tender perennial (which is an annual in all but the warmest Zones) where it can be inspected and admired. Partial shade, rich soil and ample water are called for. This is an ideal container plant! Be sure to look at the large picture to get a better idea of just how special this one is.

Highly recommended.

Salvia splendens ‘Lighthouse Red'

(Lighthouse Red Scarlet Sage) There are quite literally dozens of red Scarlet Sage varieties for sale in the US. Why do we grow only this one? Easy: it starts blooming when less than 6 inches tall, never stops all season, is tough enough to grow in Texas heat, Florida rainstorms and California humidity. And the very large crimson red flowers in grand clusters do remind us of a lighthouse - something you can see from a great distance.

(Tubular Chilean Sage) This rare sage from the coastal mountains of northern Chile grows in an environment of foggy days and moderate temperatures. In the wild it can grow 9 feet tall and wide, but we have never seen one that large.
