Yellow in the Rock Garden

The yellow daisies cheer up the rock garden and welcome the early butterflies.

Victoria Blue

Victoria blue salvia is a real star in the desert garden. Native to Texas and Mexico, they thrive in our hot summers. Here, they're perennials, usually living three to five years. They're favorites of verdins, hummingbirds, Texas cross butterflies, and, sometimes, lizards. The spinies will often leap up and grab a blossom. I love them…
