Standing out in the garden in October is the dramatic North American (Northwestern Mexico) native, Salvia madrensis ‘Red Neck Girl’. This 2002 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction is still one of our most spectacular introductions. The winged red stems are the main feature through the summer months, but once fall arrives, the giant stalks of yellow flowers steal the show. You will need plenty of space for this giant perennial. Our garden plant below measures 7′ tall x 10′ wide. Hardiness is Zone 7b-10b.
