Park Seed Vista Fire-Engine Red Salvia Features
-
For intense color saturation on neat, compact plants that really take the summer heat, Vista is unbeatable. This charmer begins flowering early (before the end of spring in most climates) and continues up to frost, filling garden and container with blinding stoplight-red blooms that attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and compliments by the dozen.
-
A selection of Scarlet Sage (S. splendens), this tender perennial is grown as an annual in American gardens. It takes off like crazy, setting large, toothy green foliage below the 4- to 5-inch flower spikes. Nice in the vase, it's really a bedding plant extraordinaire, absolutely knockout beautiful in large plantings.
-
Yet Vista isn't a space hog, reaching just 10 to 12 inches high and perhaps 8 inches wide. This means you can squeeze it into containers (its nicely vertical habit makes it a great companion to trailing and mounding varieties) as well as tucking into empty garden spots as needed. Plan to grow an extra Pack of Seedset of seeds just as fill-ins; they will become the stars of any sunny setting.
-
Holding its rich color better in the sunny garden than most other salvias, Vista is superbly heat tolerant, and blooms in just 9 to 10 weeks from seed—a bit quicker than most others in the family. An all-around all-star.
-
Direct sow this salvia or begin the seeds indoors for even earlier blooms. Not fussy about soil, it flourishes in blazing sun, tolerating heat, drought, and other vagaries of the weather. The foliage is evergreen, and so in the coastal West and milder climates of the South it may overwinter and flower again the following spring, though the first year will be its most majestic.
About Park Seed Vista Fire-Engine Red Salvia
It's going to be another beautiful spring in your garden! We are delighted to celebrate 150 years of gardening friendship with you! "Your success and pleasure are more to Park than your money." The motto of our founder, George W. Park, has been the inspiration for Park Seed Company ever since its 1868 founding at the kitchen table of a 15-year-old boy who hoped to sell seeds from his own garden for a little pocket money. Mr. Park considered gardening a spiritual delight as well as a useful and pleasant activity. In early catalogs, he encouraged gardeners to form clubs and swap seeds, even printing nature poetry they had written. His catalogs united gardeners in remote rural areas, and by 1918, Park Seed Company had 180,000 customers. Today our gardeners number in the millions, yet we still adhere to Mr. Park's original motto. We may be connecting online through social media rather than handwritten letters, but the spirit and the result is the same: bringing the joys of gardening to as many people as possible.
