Salvia
This is general guidance. Adjust watering and care for your home's light, temperature, humidity, potting mix, container, and season.
If the coneflowers are the bees’ diner, the salvia is the bar — those violet spikes are rarely without a visitor. After three or four years it’s settled into a dense, reliable stand that opens in early summer, and if I shear it back hard after the first flush it rewards me with a second one. Tough, drought-proof, and a pollinator magnet right next to the hives.
