Salvia greggii ‘Peach Cobbler’ is, we understand, as near to an orange Salvia as you can get. Peachy orange, open-mouthed blooms adorn tall wiry stems from June to November above sage scented foliage. A marvellously colourful way to lead your garden through summer and well into autumn. Very easy to grow, drought tolerant and loved by bees Salvia greggii ‘Peach Cobbler’ is happy grown in both borders and containers. Furthermore, it is perfect when positioned near a path or seat so that the fragrance will be released when the foliage is brushed against. The word Salvia is derived from the Latin 'salvere' meaning 'to save' as it has been used medicinally for centuries. Like most Salvia, ‘Peach Cobbler’ prefers well-drained soil of any kind except heavy clay. Position in full sun or partial shade for best results and plants will reach a mature height and spread of up to 90cm. Salvia greggii ‘Peach Cobbler’ is a half-hardy, evergreen perennial (H3) which can be grown outside in well-drained soil all year round. Extra winter protection is only required when temperatures drop below -5C; during milder winters foliage remains.
