Salvia Faye Chapel Live Plants | Pack of 2 (TWO) | 5-9" Tall | Scarlet Sage | Non-Stop Blooming Red Flowers

What You Will Receive: You will receive a Pack of 2 healthy, well-rooted Salvia ‘Faye Chapel’ (Salvia splendens) starter plants, each currently 5-9 inches tall. Shipped bare-root for maximum vigor, these active starts are ready to establish quickly, growing much faster and larger than standard seed-grown bedding plants.

The "True Red" That Loves the Shade: Solve the problem of dark garden corners. Unlike most red flowers that demand full baking sun, ‘Faye Chapel’ is famous for blooming profusely even in Partial Shade. It lights up covered patios, porches, and tree lines with intense, fire-engine red blooms that glow in lower light conditions.

The Hummingbird’s Favorite Heirloom: Bring the birds to your window. This isn't the short, stubby salvia found in cheap flats. ‘Faye Chapel’ is a vigorous heirloom variety that produces elegant, loose spikes of tubular flowers. The specific shape and vivid color are biologically irresistible to hummingbirds, turning your garden into a feeding frenzy.

A Continuous Color Factory: Enjoy flowers from spring until the first frost. This variety is sterile (doesn't waste energy making seeds), which means it pours all its energy into constant blooming. The flower spikes are self-cleaning, dropping cleanly when finished to make room for new buds without constant deadheading.

Versatile Garden Elegance: Elevate your landscape design. Growing to a lush 24-36 inches tall, this plant offers vertical impact. It is perfect as a "Thriller" in large mixed containers or massed in the middle of a border to create a sea of red. Its deep green, heart-shaped foliage provides a lush backdrop for the blooms.

Care Instructions: Upon arrival, unwrap gently and soak roots in water for 20 minutes. Plant in fertile, well-draining soil. While adaptable, it prefers Morning Sun/Afternoon Shade in hot climates to prevent wilting. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy.

Safe Arrival Guarantee: We ship using eco-friendly, secure packaging designed to protect the roots and retain moisture. While some minor leaf wilt is normal due to shipping stress, we guarantee your plants arrive with healthy, viable root systems ready to hydrate and bounce back rapidly.

The Reddest Flower You Will Ever Grow

If you are looking for a red that stops traffic, you have found it. Salvia ‘Faye Chapel’ is an heirloom treasure that puts modern, dwarf bedding plants to shame. While standard salvias stay small and bloom in short bursts, ‘Faye Chapel’ grows into a magnificent, shrub-like spectacle (up to 3 feet tall) covered in large, loose spikes of the most intense scarlet-red imaginable. Our 2-Pack of starter plants allows you to bring this heritage beauty to your own garden.

A Rare Find: Red Blooms for the Shade Gardeners often struggle to find bright colors for shady spots. ‘Faye Chapel’ is the solution. It thrives in partial shade, bringing warmth and vibrancy to areas under trees or on covered porches where other red flowers would fail to bloom.

The Hummingbird Super-Magnet This plant doesn't just attract hummingbirds; it sustains them. Because it blooms non-stop from spring until frost, it provides a reliable source of nectar for the entire season. The tubular flowers are the perfect shape for their beaks. If you want to see hummingbirds fighting over a flower, plant this.
