Salvia coccinea 'Coral Nymph' (also known as 'Cherry Blossom') is a charming cultivar of blood sage with soft coral-pink tubular flowers on airy spikes. It blooms from early summer to frost, attracting hummingbirds and butterflies. Part of the Nymph Series, it is more compact and earlier flowering than the species.
Full sun to partial shade, well-drained soil. Deadhead to encourage continuous bloom. It self-sows but not aggressively. In zones 8-10, it may overwinter. Treat as an annual elsewhere. Excellent in containers, borders, and pollinator gardens.
Pair with blue salvias, white gaura, or yellow coreopsis for a pastel palette. Its airy habit blends well in cottage gardens and wildflower meadows.
