Salvia X jamensis (Hybrid Mexican Sage)
This Salvia is thriving in the summer heat, blooms from spring to fall. Tender perennial cant handle cold, used as annual in cold regions. The flower is visited by hummingbirds. This salvia grows easily in full sun and well-drained soil of average fertility. Although drought tolerant, it benefits from a deep soaking at least one a week if conditions become very dry during the growing season.
