Why We Love It:
Hummingbirds absolutely flock to this exceptional perennial salvia bred by Denver-area plantsman Kelly Grummons. Windwalker® Royal Red forms a strong, graceful clump with vivid red flower spikes that bloom for months without fading in the summer heat. Tough, drought tolerant, and constantly alive with pollinators, it brings bold color and movement to water-wise gardens while still feeling refined and natural in the landscape.

Additional Info:
A durable, long-blooming salvia selected for performance in challenging western climates. Thrives in sunny locations with well-drained soil and requires minimal supplemental water once established. Excellent paired with ornamental grasses, native perennials, and other xeric plants for a dynamic late-season display. Deadheading can encourage even more flowering through fall.
