'Coral Nymph' scarlet sage (Salvia coccinea 'Coral Nymph') is an annual for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It stands erect and grows at a moderate rate. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers. It is drought tolerant, and it blooms from early summer to late autumn.
