SALVIA
Salvia spp., Zones 3 to 11
Gardeners can choose from a long list
of salvia varieties—and the benefits that
come with them. Purple, pink, red, white or
yellow tube-shaped flowers are attractive
to most hummingbirds and pollinators.
I was rushing about when I noticed a
busy little bumblebee around this purple
salvia. I had to see if I could capture
the moment! DANIELLE GALLANT
