Bright pink blooms COVER this hummingbird magnet all season long! This EXCLUSIVE Salvia was selected right here at Annie’s and it’s a real winner - even if we do say so ourselves! Forms a 3’ tall and 2’ wide mound of small fragrant evergreen foliage with perfectly-pink 1-2” blooms that appear en masse in mid-late spring. Occasional dead-heading is rewarded with flowers right thru fall. Deer resistant, slug resistant, drought tolerant, and cold hardy - this is one tough cookie. Cut back and fertilize in spring once it starts putting out new growth for best form. Prefers good drainage so, if you’ve got clay, try a container – it’ll love it! Lovely combined with blue or purple such as Agastache ‘Black Adder’ or Felicia aethiopica ‘Tight & Tidy’.
