4. Salvia
Salvia is the name of a large mint family genus. Perennial salvias have lovely sage-like leaves and tall stalks of unusually shaped flowers in various colors, including vibrant blues and reds. These beautiful plants are ideal for a fun Fourth of July celebration!
Many suburban and rural gardeners find them invaluable because they are deer resistant. Many varieties' silvery-grey foliage makes them a versatile accent plant against the more commonly found green foliage.
