Very hardy perennial bush which loves the heat and will establish quickly. Height 50cm high by 70cm wide. | |
POSITION: | Full sun is lead and will flower best but part shade is adequate too. |
FLOWERING: | This series will flower right through the hot Summer and Autumn. The flowers are held on long strong stems and are a vibrant colours which bees and butterflies love. |
USES: | Ideal in hot garden beds, pots or perennial gardens. Excellent as a boarder plant and on exposed sloping sites as its strong compact habit is perfect to with stand all the elements. |
CARE: | Salvias loved to be pruned and Elite varieties are no exception. If plants look tatty over the Summer months, prune to 25 to 50% of their original height and fertilize, they will respond quickly. During Winter is their down time and is when they should be completely pruned back by around 75%. In Spring they will grow away quickly. Mulch in Summer and although very drought hardy, normal garden watering will give best results. |
