MBN 1Gal Salvia 'Maraschino'

This bushy, fast growing selection to 3-4' tall and 6' across has soft green leaves with faint veining and numerous small, deep cherry red flowers borne over a long season. Very old unrestrained plants can reach over 6' tall and 20' across, but it is easily kept under 4-6' spread with a pruning every couple of years. The flowers bleach from sun, rain or sprinklers, aging to light cherry red and often to pale pink before they fall, so the overall color of the plant in bloom is a medium cherry red. This is a very long blooming selection and can usually be seen in color almost all year.
