Notes
'Radio Red' autumn sage (Salvia greggii 'Radio Red') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, and hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average soil. Red flowers open in spring, summer, and autumn, and they draw butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds. The arching plant tolerates drought and salt. It sits low on the menu for deer.
Pairs well with Goldenrod, Mondo grass, and Society garlic.
