Salvia x 'Red Dragon'

Salvia x 'Red Dragon'

This is one of those brittle stemmed Salvias which has a fairly lopsided habit of growth and is best planted where it can sprawl in a haphazard way. It can be frustrating growing a plant like this commercially because it fails to look good in a pot and does not flower well until it is planted out.The flowers when they appear are a rich velvety red and like most of the genus are loved by honey eating birds.
2017 update: I  no longer grow this Salvia.
