Salvia coccinea
When to plant scarlet sage
Grow in full sun to partial shade in sandy, fertile, well-drained soil; it tolerates clay if it drains well. It is perennial in warm climates but is grown as an annual where winters freeze, blooming from early summer to first frost and reseeding easily.
Scarlet Sage is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
