    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A fantastic twist on Salvia involucrata, one of our long time favorites! We're thankful to Strybing Arboretum for sharing this impressive, more modestly sized hybrid with us. This plant has the habit & color of Salvia pulchella (which grows 2' high by 5' wide, with deep wine pink flowers) & the rosy features of Salvia involucrata (smoother leaves, & beautiful new buds that are rounded & rose-bud like!) Blooms come in Spring & Fall, as well as periodically throughout the rest of the year. Evergreen in mild climates & can be pruned to the base annually to control the plant's size. Rich soil is best.
