Notes

'Summer Jewel Pink' salvia (Salvia 'Summer Jewel Pink') suits borders, pollinator gardens, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 8, or down to 10°F (-12°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It blooms from spring through autumn. Butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit the flowers, and the plant tolerates drought and salt. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal.

Pairs well with Mexican petunia, Lemongrass, and Creme de Cognac dahlia.
