Let me also say that most of the Salvia I listed above, I had to mail-order to get them. The nurseries here don't offer much in the way of Hummingbird plants. And most of those I grow in partial shade area. The heat and sun in Florida in Summers is very brutal! Only the most heat-tolerant plants survive.

Hot Lips Salvia is an awesome heat tolerant Salvia and the butterflies and Hummers seem to enjoy the blooms year round.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
