[All-America Selections](https://all-americaselections.org/product/salvia-summer-jewel-white/), [Ball Seed](https://info.ballseed.com/WEBTRACKPLANTINFO.ASPX?PHID=054906319005863&env=P), and [Family Tree Nursery](https://familytreenursery.com/pages/annual-flowers) ## Landscape Use Plant it in sunny borders, massed beds, or containers, where the slender flower spikes rise above the foliage. Its compact form also works near the front or middle of a mixed annual planting. ## Growing Conditions Provide full sun and ordinary, well-drained garden soil. Water regularly while plants establish, then adjust to local conditions; in hot weather, do not allow container soil to dry for long periods. It is treated as an annual in many gardens, though it may reseed where conditions suit it. ## Seasonal Interest The white flowers begin in late spring and continue through summer and into fall. All-America Selections notes that bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit the larger flowers. ## Maintenance Deadheading is not required for basic performance, but trimming faded spikes can keep the plant neat and encourage further flowering. Replace plants after frost where they are grown as annuals.
