I’ve got a bucket full of tropical salvia. I’m transplanting about a dozen volunteers. We first bought this plant from the #Florida Nursery of #NativePlants and it reseeds itself faithfully year after year. The tiny flowers come in white, pink and red and they attract the American bumble bee, countless butterflies and other pollinators. I’m moving them around to places where we just need more greenery and color and I feel so lucky to have oodles of this plant for free.
@PermaSolarPotter Salvias are the most life-loving plants. They keep themselves going through all kinds of neglect. They provide for bees, nectar seeking birds and other friends. They love a hard prune. They strike from cuttings, put out rooted starters, offer seed, but aren’t rhizomatically invasive. Their leaves are fragrant as you work around them. Can’t have too many, can’t sing their praises loud enough.
@kate 100% and Amen!
