Introducing the Heatwave Blaze Sage
The Salvia microphylla x greggii 'Heatwave Blaze' (1 qt), commonly known as Heatwave Blaze Sage, is a stunning perennial plant that adds vibrant color to your garden. This plant is a hybrid of Salvia microphylla and Salvia greggii, resulting in a unique blend of characteristics.
The Heatwave Blaze Sage features dense clusters of fiery red flowers that bloom from late spring through fall. These vibrant flowers are a magnet for pollinators, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to your garden. Its compact size of around 2-3 feet makes it an ideal choice for containers or smaller gardens.
Caring for the Heatwave Blaze Sage
To ensure the Salvia microphylla x greggii 'Heatwave Blaze' (1 qt) thrives in your garden, follow these care instructions:
1. Planting
Choose a sunny location in your garden with well-draining soil. Dig a hole that is slightly larger than the container size of the plant. Gently remove the plant from its container and place it in the hole. Backfill the hole with soil, ensuring the crown of the plant is level with the ground. Water thoroughly after planting.
2. Watering
The Heatwave Blaze Sage is drought-tolerant once established, but regular watering is necessary during the initial growing period. Water deeply at the base of the plant, ensuring the soil is evenly moist. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot.
3. Pruning
Pruning is beneficial to the health and appearance of the Heatwave Blaze Sage. Regularly remove spent flowers and trim back leggy or overgrown stems to encourage new growth. Pruning in late winter or early spring helps maintain a compact shape.
4. Fertilizing
Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring to promote healthy growth. Follow the package instructions for application rates. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flower production.
5. Winter Care
In colder regions, the Heatwave Blaze Sage may require winter protection. Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to insulate the roots. You can also consider covering the plant with a frost cloth during extreme cold snaps.
