'Silke's Dream' attracts bees and hummingbirds! Prolific bright coral-red blooms cover the low, wide plant from summer into November.
'Silke's Dream' is a hybrid between Salvia darcyi x Salvia microphylla. It brings more garden setting friendliness from S. darcyi and the compact size and small foliage from S. microphylla. Discovered by Art Petley in Texas.
Best grown in full sun, well-drained soil, and occasional summer water. Looks best with a mid-summer trim to keep a compact shape and a fuller second flush of blooms. Keep stems up through the winter and keep dry or sharply-drained over the winter to increase hardiness.
Mature size: 2 ft T x 3 ft W
