Butterflies and other pollinators, yes. Hummingbirds, not so much--although they might visit as they do like salvia. It's just that this isn't the right color to act as a beacon (they like red).

It's a nice looking saliva. I've grown relatives, but never this particular cultivar. Put it in full sun, feed normally, water normally during establishment (it'll be pretty drought tolerant once established) and it'll reward you with plenty of color!

Thank You Morpheus.

Actually, hummingbirds are attracted to ANY bright color - red, yellow, orange, purple, blue. It is not so much the color of the flower but its shape and nectar content. If hummingbirds already visit your garden, they will find the salvia!

I live where hummingbirds are present year round. Not too many plants bloom in winter that offer red flowers.....or any brightly colored flowers (at least in my climate). But hummingbirds are busy nonetheless. White and pale yellow seem to be the predominate winter flower colors and the hummingbirds flock to them. And they also like the pink and purple winter blooming heathers.

Thanks Gardengal. I never thought about Hummingbirds during the winter. I believe they all fly west for the winter. I had one that constantly came around this summer he/she loved the Jacob's Cline - Monarda (though I find it to be invasive) and the Maltese Cross. It was really fun watching it so close.

However, this was the worst year for butterflies for me. I sighted 4 Swallowtails for the entire summer. I got a lot of moths. No cats on my fennel or Lovage plants?
