Scarlet Sage
This plant would have to be one my absolutely favorite plants! This is my first year growing this plant. It's October 20th and it's still in full bloom, about 3' tall and just gorgeous. I really hope it returns next year. The only thing I would recommend is a flower hoop. I have noticed in the last two weeks it has started leaning. My plant is in full sun. I love this plant so much that I am planning on taking up the mums in front of it and planting the entire bed with this plant!
