Rewilding My Lot

I planted two Scarlet Sage (Salvia coccinea) in front of the house this spring. Salvias are some of the easiest plants to grow and pollinators love them. Their season is long, and even through this summer’s drought, they thrived and even self-seeded.

Here’s one of the plants with a few tiny babies to the right.

Some of the volunteer seedlings have grown in awkward places, like here.

I dug up most of the baby Salvias and potted them, to be used in the back garden or given away after their roots are a little stronger. I lined them up by height because that’s how my brain works.
