Blazing cherry-red blooms light up the garden from early spring through frost, making ‘Mirage Cherry Red’ Salvia a showstopper with nonstop color. Compact, heat-tolerant, and loaded with nectar, this long-blooming sage is a magnet for hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. Unlike leggier Salvias, this variety stays neat and mounded, reaching 12-14 inches tall and wide, making it perfect for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. Thriving in hot, dry conditions with little care, ‘Mirage Cherry Red’ is deer-resistant, drought-tolerant, and effortlessly beautiful.
