Description
Salvia x Mr Jules
A butterfly and hummingbird magnet! Very profuse bloomer and has good shape without a lot of maintenance. Not well known in the nursery trade, this is a fine choice for great winter color and hummingbird habitat in mild climates. It grows well in full sun to partial shade when given average watering based on local conditions. We consider Mister Jules one of the best sages for covering large areas and providing a bright spot during the dark days of winter. Its flower spikes are also pretty additions to cut-flower bouquets.
