Forsythia Sage (Yellow Sage, Mexican Forsythia)

Plant in well-drained, moderately fertile soil in full sun to partial shade; forsythia sage is a bold, large-growing Mexican salvia that produces masses of bright clear-yellow flowers in dense whorls up tall, square stems from October through frost — its bright yellow blooms at the same time forsythia blooms in spring create a striking parallel, giving rise to its common name. The plant is remarkable for its tremendous size — growing 5–8 feet tall in a single season — and for its late-season bloom when most other plants are finishing. The large, heart-shaped leaves are powerfully aromatic when bruised. It is an outstanding hummingbird plant in fall when migrating birds need energy. The stems die back after frost but resprout vigorously from established root crowns in spring. One of the finest large fall-blooming perennials for the Gulf South. Спосіб посадки: Розмноження живцюванням Відстань між рослинами: 36–60 дюймів Висота: 48–96 дюймів Дні до схожості: 14–21 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 18–24°C
