A real winner! We interplanted Summer Jewel White with the Summer Jewel Lavender salvia and the results were stunning. Non-stop color, the garden was abuzz with pollinators. Zone 6a

Salvia Summer Jewel White performed extremely well for me in SE Pennsylvania. From late spring through frost, this compact annual was covered with blooms. As a bonus, I found it had reseeded the following year and its garden performance was as good as the initial planting.
