Another annual is scarlet sage (Salvia coccinea) although current thinking is that it is not native to Georgia (but it is sold in Georgia and included in seed mixes).

Although this species is an annual plant it usually reseeds enough to have more the next year. If you collect seed and sow it indoors, you’ll have earlier flowers. Seeds left to germinate on their own won’t get started until soil temperatures are warm enough. Once it gets growing, the blooms are non-stop until frost, giving hummingbirds and certain butterflies plenty to be happy about. Full sun, please! . . . #nativeplants #nativeplantsofgeorgia #gardening #pollinatorplants #pollinatorgardening #nativehabitat #wildlifegardening #plants #georgia #gonative #spring
