Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Large and rounded, dusky magenta buds cluster at stem tips and open into brilliant pink, fuzzy tubular flowers toned down by deep purple calyxes. Handsome, dark green nearly heart-shaped leaves are arranged in pairs and complement red petioles on strong straight stalks. Revered by hummingbirds, this bushy Salvia makes a perfect addition to the meadow garden, and along with Salvia 'Nekan' and Aster 'Ochtendgloren' augments a late season blend of blue and pink.
