Rating for this plant:
Fortunately, i have no hummingbird feeders per se because i live in usda zone 11 and am able to have nectar flowers year around. There are several plants that i call my "hummingbird feeders" and Salvia coccinea is definitely one of them. In addition, this easy to grow and care for Salvia adds a lot of pizzazz of brilliant red to a garden without taking up much space.
