Perennial salvias make a great addition to ornamental borders, with their summer-long displays of spiky, nectar-rich flowers. Salvia confertiflora is a striking choice, bearing velvety red flower spikes on red stems above huge crinkled leaves.
For best results grow Salvia confertiflora in a sunny, sheltered spot in well-drained soil. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage flowers into mid-autumn. Mulch annually with well-rotted manure or garden compost. Salvia confertiflora is only half hardy, so provide winter protection from autumn onwards, or move indoors.
