Plant Profile: Salvia guaranitica

Salvia guaranitica is a perennial herb that flowers from mid-summer through fall, thriving in soil that is well-drained and consistently moist. While it is considered tender and typically grows in hardiness zones 8 to 10, it can be cultivated as an annual in regions with colder winters. The 'Black and Blue' variety is more resilient than other types and can endure milder winters in zone 7 if adequately mulched.

This plant serves as a dependable nectar source for both butterflies and hummingbirds and is rarely affected by deer.
