Salvia splendens 'Van-Houttei' (Scarlet Sage)

Salvia splendens 'Van-Houttei' – Alternate Spelling Heirloom

This entry represents the same classic heirloom cultivar as 'Van Houttei' (see ID 61036), but with a hyphenated spelling 'Van-Houttei' (syn. Salvia vanhouttei). It is the 19th-century selection with deep crimson, gracefully drooping flowers and a more open habit than modern bedding salvias. A timeless favorite for cottage gardens and hummingbird plantings.
