Salvia (Salvia x jamensis Heatwave™ Glimmer)

Salvia x jamensis ‘Heatwave™ Glimmer’ is a hybrid, so it doesn’t have a single, clear “native region.” However, we can infer its likely origins based on its parentage. *Salvia jamensis* is one of the parents, and it is native to the Sierra Madre Oriental mountain range in **Northeastern Mexico**.

The “Heatwave” series of *Salvia x jamensis* cultivars were bred for improved heat and humidity tolerance, suggesting an influence from regions with similar climates to the native range of *S. jamensis* but also with hot, humid summers. Given that it was bred, likely in the US or Europe, it was probably selected for traits that would perform well in a temperate or subtropical environment.

Therefore, the geographical location or native region of influence for *Salvia x jamensis ‘Heatwave™ Glimmer’* is primarily **Northeastern Mexico**, with some consideration for adaptation to warmer temperate or subtropical climates.
