Pursed bi-coloured lips emerge from fragrant foliage, adored by bees and butterflies.
Our Salvia Lovely Lips Collection includes one each of three fabulous, two-toned cultivars – velvety-purple Amethyst Lips, magenta Cherry Lips, and scarlet Hot Lips.
Blooming for an exceptional period - usually from June to November, Salvias add an attractive airy quality to garden borders and pots. Excellent for underplanting larger shrubs such as Roses – the aromatic foliage is thought to help keep pests and diseases at bay.
Plant out after the risk of frost has passed into moist, well-drained soil in a position in full sun.
H&S: 90cm x 90cm
Shear plants back lightly in late summer to prolong flowering.
Salvias are hardy perennials throughout most of the UK and may need winter protection in colder regions. RHS hardiness rating H3-H5
