The Beautiful Red Perennial Cardinals Love Visiting In
The Garden
By KOURTNEY BORMAN
If you're looking to attract cardinals to your garden, planting scarlet sage, also known as Salvia coccinea, is an excellent choice because this perennial serves as a bird magnet.
The plant's bright red flowers are especially appealing to these beautiful birds, while its bushy and thick foliage provides ideal nesting sites and shelter from predators.
Additionally, scarlet sage attracts a variety of insects, including butterflies and other small, nectar-loving bugs, which serve as an extra protein source for cardinals.
Pairing scarlet sage with other perennials that produce seeds cardinals love, such as sunflowers and zinnias, will help you bring even more cardinals to your yard in
