Overview

An outstanding variety, highly recommended. It produces a profusion of showy pink flowers, streaked with a slightly darker shade, and with maroon stems and calyces. Flowers are produced over a long period, throughout Summer and Autumn, displayed against olive green foliage. Similar to Wendy’s Wish in habit, it requires support for best performance.

Salvias are excellent for summer and autumn displays. They are prolific in flower, loved by pollinating insects and an outstanding colour range to choose from.

  • Planting: Plant from late May to early June, as soon as the risk of frosts have passed. Plant as soon as possible to give your plants the maximum time to establish their roots before winter. Trim back before planting using sharp secateurs to encourage sturdy growth. Plant in well-drained soil in a sheltered, sunny position.
  • Care: Deadhead flowers regularly to promote longer flowering. Feed regularly with a balanced fertiliser to maintain healthy growth. Tender salvias should be lifted and grown under protection during the winter. Prune established salvias in late spring, when the new growth starts and the risk of frosts has passed.

*Available May-September, subject to weather conditions* Full cultural guides are sent with every order. If you purchase your plants late in the season, they are best kept frost free and planted out the following spring.

    I rarely write reviews but I must recommend this excellent nursery. It is the best nursery I have used for online ordering. Rang them first with some questions and they were most helpful. Then did my order of heathers and they were sent and arrived promptly in great condition and are very healthy looking plants.
