Salvia Greggii Cool Pink | 9cm Pot

A rich pastel pink flowering shrubby perennial . Position: full sun to lightly dappled shade Soil: humus-rich, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: June to September Hardiness: frost hardy (may need winter protection) A superb new hybrid, ‘Cool Pink’ has rich pastel pink flowers with a creamy white eye in the centre and bright green foliage that gives great contrast either in the border or as a striking feature plant in pots and containers. In bloom from mid to late summer, this salvia is from the exciting cool series! Garden care: To prolong flowering remove the flower spikes as soon as they start to fade.

Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted compost or manure around the base of the plant in spring. Protect from excessive cold and waterlogged soils.
