Big, bright red blooms, the Furman's Red Salvia (Salvia greggi 'Furman's Red') is an extremely long blooming selection that will add bold color to your sun garden beds and borders! Aromatic and blooming in flushes from May until October!
The profusion of tall stately flowering spires is backed by aromatic lush green, neat crinkly foliage that forms smaller rounded mounds. It is valued for its tightly branched, upright growth habit and the crimson to scarlet flowers are an absolute favorite of Hummingbirds and butterflies. You will love the beautiful cut flowers and its fragrance is light and pleasant herbal Sage.
Also called Furman's Red Texas Sage, this eye-catching perennial Salvia grows throughout USDA planting zones 5 to 10, enjoys warm temperatures, and is moderately drought tolerant once established. Growing up to 2 feet in height and width, these bold red blooms love sun, heat, and humidity!
Planting and Application:

As at home in the Cottage garden, Prairie and Wildflower garden, and mixed perennial garden as they are in the Rock Garden, the Xeric border, and the Cut Flower Garden!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Perennial Salvia like Furman's Red needs full sun for the most blooms and strongest stems and tolerates a wide range of soils requiring only that they quickly drain. Provide regular waterings for the first year in the ground, not allowing new plants to dry out. Then, just a bit of extra water is needed during dry spells and keeps the plant happy enough to encourage repeat flowers.
Furman's Red is a woody 2-foot herbaceous perennial that looks best if cut back in the early spring. Keep those bold blooms popping until fall with regular deadheading. A 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch around the roots keeps soil moisture more consistent and insulates the roots.
- Thrives in Sun, Heat & Humidity
- Drought-ResistantOnce Established
- Any Well-Drained Soil Type
- Prune Back Late Winter or Early Spring
- Deadhead To Encourage New Blooms Spring til Fall
- Deer Resistant, Easy To Grow Perennials
