Salvia 'Velour Pink'

Salvia ‘Velour Pink’ is a late season stunner, the soft pink flowers open from silver velvet calyxes in their hundreds for many months. Water wise and fast to establish and grow with impressive size.

The gorgeous flowers of Salvia leuchantha, commonly known as Mexican Sage bloom for a long time, at a time of year when there is not much else is on show. They are easy care and very hardy. I am not sure we could sing their praises loudly enough! Neither can the beneficial birds and insects that adore the blooms.

These well branched sub shrubs* have big blooming power and aromatic foliage. A lovely choice for beds and borders, the colour lasts from spring to autumn. It will even grow in pots. The stems are long and decorative and can be added to cut flower arrangements.

Grow Salvia leucantha in a sunny location in well drained soil. Salvias are dry tolerant once established and look wonderful in beds, borders, coastal or dry gardens. They have vigorous growth and are low maintenance. It is a good idea to dead head the spent flowers on Salvias, after the first flush, and add some fertiliser to encourage re-bloom.

* A sub shrub is a woody based perennial. It remains above ground year round and should be pruned back after flowering or in early spring to maintain vigour and allow fresh new growth to shine.
