Overview

An outstanding variety, highly recommended. It produces an abundance of dazzling purple- pink flowers, streaked with a slightly darker shade, and with deepest purple stems and calyces. Flowers are produced over a long period, throughout Summer and Autumn, against attractive pale olive 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.

  • Clare K Verified Buyer
    I am delighted with my new, rare, miniature Abies Koreana plant, from Aswood Nurseries, which arrived securely packaged and with plant care details enclosed. The overnight carrier provided a good service and advised me of a short delay in the delivery. The nursery notified me on the availability of my plant, via email and having made my purchase, which was very straight forward, I requested a delayed dispatch date to coincide with my return from holiday, which was observed. I am a returning customer and can always be sure that I will receive a reliable service from this specialist nursery. One happy customer.
