Hummingbird Attracting Plants and Seeds


* I don't have any more cuttings of my Salvia guaranitica (Blue Anise Sage). It is the BEST hummingbird attracting plant!

Here's a picture of one of my plants that are in bloom.

Height: 36-48 in. (90-120 cm)

Spacing: 24-36 in. (60-90 cm)

Hardiness: USDA zone 7 - 11

Sun Exposure: Sun to Partial Shade

Bloom Color: Medium Blue

Bloom Time: Mid Summer, Late Summer/Early Fall, Mid Fall, Till It Freezes

It is a perennial but is treated as an anual in Minnesota. I cut the plant back, dug it up, and potted it last fall. I then put it in a heated garage. It never got below 40 degrees. It is now growing. The shoots that are coming out of the plant are the cuttings that are for sale. They are looking nice and should have roots by the end of April.
