better with regular watering.  Deadheading
encourages longer bloom time.

Salvia n. 'Plumosa' has very unique blooms from other
Salvias of this variety.  The flowers are thick plume-like
blossoms of red-purple.  All other characteristics are the
same as others in this variety.  This one makes an
excellent dried flower also.
