Our new variety is compact and earlier blooming than other Salvias, with clouds of nectar-rich, blossoms in a mix of white, soft pink and rose-red. Hummingbirds, butterflies and other pollinators flock to their blooms from dawn to dusk, and sprays of these charming flowers are lovely in mixed bouquets. Bee Heaven grows readily in a wide range of conditions and blooms continuously throughout summer. Ideal for containers or as easy-care, free-flowering border plants.

GROWING INSTRUCTIONS

Perennial

Summer/Fall bloom.

Hardy to USDA zone 8.

To Start Early Indoors

Start seeds indoors 4 to 6 weeks before last frost date. Sow seeds 1 inch apart in a container of seed starting mix and cover very lightly. Keep moist but not soggy and provide a strong light source. When seedlings are about 2 to 3 inches tall, and night temperatures are above 50°F (10°C), acclimate to outdoor conditions and plant 8 inches apart.

To Start Directly Outdoors

Sow in well-worked beds or in containers in full sun only after night temperatures reach 50°F (10°C). Plant seeds 4 inches apart and cover very lightly. Keep soil evenly moist. Thin seedlings to 8 inches apart so plants have room to mature.

Container Planting

Plant 4 seedlings in a 20 inch pot; 3 in a 16 inch pot, and 1 seedling in an 8 inch pot.

Growing Notes

Plants grow quickly to 12-18 inches tall and bloom all summer long. Honeybees, hummingbirds, butterflies, and many other pollinators constantly visit these nectar-rich flowers.
