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.
All three colors of tropical sage, in front of my studio. One thing I find curious about this so-called #NativePlant is that I don’t recall seeing it in the natural landscape. I only ever see it in cultivated gardens. It’s possible I haven’t been to its natural habitat, but I’ve been to so many places in this state that I think it’s strange I haven’t run into it yet.
@PermaSolarPotter That’s a good observation.
