Salvia Greggii Lipstick | 9cm Pot

Flowers prolifically over several months. Position: full light (with shade from hot sun) Soil: well-drained Rate of growth: average Flowering period: June to October Hardiness: half hardy (will need winter protection) Vibrantly coloured flowers top the upright stems of this aromatic perennial for several months from early summer. The foliage is a fresh green, and when crushed or brushed over, it emits a delicious minty smell. Fabulous for pots and containers, it will become drought tolerant once established. 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 garden compost or manure around the base of the plant in spring. Protect from excessive winter cold and wet.
