When considering salvia, many gardeners never look beyond Salvia
splendens, the bedding plant with spikes of aggressively red flowers
seen in almost every public garden. But salvias form a large genus
incorporating shrubs and perennials as well as annuals. Both annual and
tender perennial species used in bedding displays and borders are
described here. All have spikes of tubular flowers, but they come in a
range of colors.
