Gardener's Tip

Keep the Fire Burning! To ensure your 'Scarlet Beauty' remains a sea of red all season, regular deadheading is essential. As the flower spikes begin to fade and lose their brilliance, pinch them off at the base; this triggers the plant to send up new, vibrant shoots almost immediately. Salvia Splendens loves warmth and rich, well-drained soil. For the most dramatic effect, plant them in large drifts or groups—the massed scarlet colour creates a "carpet of fire" effect that is truly spectacular in full sun.
