 The Ultimate Hummingbird Magnet

Tropical Sage, also known as Scarlet Sage, is perhaps the most reliable plant for attracting hummingbirds to your Florida garden. With its upright spikes of tubular red flowers, it provides a constant source of nectar and a brilliant pop of color from spring until the first frost.

• Hummingbird Favorite: The bright red, tubular flowers are perfectly shaped for hummingbirds and butterflies.
• Shade Tolerant: Unlike many other wildflowers, Tropical Sage thrives in everything from full sun to partial shade.
• Resilient: It is highly drought-tolerant once established and handles Florida’s heat and humidity without skipping a beat.
• Naturalizes Easily: It produces plenty of seeds, allowing it to gently "fill in" your garden beds over time for a lush, natural look.

Light: Full Sun to Partial Shade

Water: Moderate to Low (Drought-tolerant once established)

Soil: Versatile; thrives in sandy or loamy well-draining soil

Height2–4 feet tall

Bloom Time: Spring through Fall (Year-round in South Florida)

Gardener's Tip: To keep the plant bushy and full of blooms, feel free to prune it back by about a third after a heavy flowering cycle. It will reward you with fresh growth and new flowers in no time!
