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.

  • Yvonne B Verified Buyer
    Package arrived beautifully sealed plants inside in great condition
  • Peter S Verified Buyer
    Bought a Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Fernspray Gold'. Excellent plant. Well packaged and delivered. No issues. So pleased I bought a second one.
  • Alan R Verified Buyer
    I ordered 2 climbers and shrub mail order. They came with a week and I was kept infomed by email. The care in packaging was outstanding in stiff cardboard box with a firm carboard tray and well wrapped and supported plants. All plants were in good condition (especially considering the drought) - the only damage was done by me in unravelling the stems of one of the climbers. Fully recommend and will do again.
  • Jayne R Verified Buyer

    Three plants arrived swiftly and in very good health - two escallonias and a ceratostigma. A very good size too, clearly well looked after. Great selection of plants elsewhere in the online catalogue too

    I ordered a varigated buddleia as a present. It arrived very quickly and looked to be in very good condition. I'm very impressed with the service.
