At Last, an ORANGE Sage!
Blooms begin just 6 to 8 weeks after sowing!
A Park Exclusive! With its early, profuse, and brilliant blooms on compact plants, Hotline has been the Salvia of choice for many gardeners since its introduction. Its stocky, heavy 5- to 6-inch flower spikes begin appearing when the plant is just 6 inches tall--less than 2 months from sowing!--and keep coming over an exceptionally long season. The plants reach 10 to 12 inches tall and wide, with large, lush forest-green foliage fanning out below the bloomstalk like a carpet. Very uniform between colors, the Hotline series has earned our High Performer citation for superior garden-worthiness--both for its beauty and for its easy, vigorous growth! And now there's Orange, a VERY hard-to-find color in Salvia and just as beautiful and vigorous as every other member of the Hotline family! Hummingbirds love these ground-hugging plants, which bear fresh blooms and foliage all the way till frost. They are unrivalled for mass display in the border or bed, and combine well with other annuals (not to mention the other Hotline colors, from deep Violet to bright White!.) Their compact size and neat habit make them a good neighbor both to large-bloomed and to taller, more vertical sources of color. And extreme tolerance of heat and drought means that you can neglect this Salvia a bit without losing a bloom! Available from seed only here at Park, Hotline Orange is a snap to grow - just sow indoors 6 to 8 weeks before last frost in the spring. Not fussy about soil, it flourishes in blazing sun to dappled shade, tolerating heat, drought, and other vagaries of the weather. In the coastal West and milder climates of the South it can be grown as a perennial. If you like Blue, be sure to try all the other Hotlines, from signature red to the merry mix of all 9 colors! Pkt is 50 seeds.
