 'Silke's Dream' attracts bees and hummingbirds! Prolific bright coral-red blooms cover the low, wide plant from summer till hard frost. Our plant was still blooming on November 19th, 2025, making it through a frost to 25° F. 

'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, with occasional summer water. Looks best with a mid-summer trim to keep a compact shape and a fuller second flush of blooms. Leave st stems through the winter to help provide protection. To increase hardiness, keep on the dry side, or provide sharp drainage over the winter.

Mature size: 2 ft T x 3 ft W

Minimum temperature: 5° F

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
