Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Salvia 'Love and Wishes' is a bold and beautiful sage with large, purplish magenta flowers emerging from dusky purple sepals on deep maroon stems produced from early summer until frost. Use it as a dramatic summer planting in the garden or pots. 'Love and Wishes' is not that hardy but is worth it because it produces copious amounts of nectar for hummingbirds and other pollinators. Customers come back for it and 'Amistad' and 'Ember's Wish' every year because the hummers love them so much. Treat as an annual or overwinter indoors in greenhouse, house, or garage.

From the Australian Wish series, along with Wendy’s Wish and Embers Wish, 'Love and Wishes' color is best described as leaning more towards the purple side of magenta, but with contrasting dusky plum bracts. Expect an endless supply of blooms from July-frost. Grows to 2-3’ tall and wide, taller once established. Hummingbirds will visit.
