Lighthouse Red Salvia (Salvia splendens) - A bold and colourful annual known for its tall, upright spikes of brilliant scarlet-red flowers and lush, deep green foliage. This vigorous, bushy variety grows approximately 24 inches tall, producing abundant, long-lasting blooms that bring vibrant colour to garden beds, borders, and containers. The striking flower spikes create a beautiful display throughout the summer and are particularly effective when planted in groups or mass plantings. Thriving in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil, Lighthouse Red is heat tolerant and makes an excellent choice for adding bold colour to summer gardens. The bright tubular flowers can also attract hummingbirds and butterflies. An easy-to-grow annual that provides a long season of brilliant colour.

Growing Information: Start indoors 6–8 weeks before the last spring frost. Sow seeds on the surface of moist seed-starting mix and press lightly into the soil. Do not cover, as seeds need light to germinate. Keep moist and warm. Germination typically occurs in 10–15 days. Harden off seedlings and transplant outdoors after all danger of frost has passed, spacing 25-30 cm (10-12") apart. Grow in full sun to partial shade in fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Tender perennial, grown as an annual.
