The Sombrero series’ vibrant colors are matched by exceptional Winter hardiness and excellent landscape performance. Salsa Red produces softly fragrant, spicy orange-red blossoms with an orange-brown cone. The petals overlap, giving the flowers a fuller, more polished look. They are freely produced from early through late summer.
Easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Adaptable plant that is tolerant of drought, heat, humidity and poor soil. Divide clumps when they become overcrowded (about every 4 years). Remove spent flowers to prolong bloom. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Gardens Plant Finder)
