New for 2025, a compact variety with large, open-mouthed blooms in shades of pink and red which are as scrumptious looking, as the dessert from which it takes its name. Flowers appear from May to October on long, strong stems, proudly accenting the silvery green, bushy foliage beneath. Leaves are aromatic and release an herby scent when brushed past or touched. Ideal for planting alongside a path or near a seat so you and your visitors get the full impact of the blooms, lush foliage and rich fragrance. Salvia ‘Raspberry Melba ‘also make a fabulous addition to vases and bouquets adding scent and colour to your home. A pollinator friendly beauty which likes a spot in full sun or partial shade with any aspect other than north facing. Plant Salvia ‘Raspberry Melba’ in a container or border which has well-drained soil and water regularly until established. A semi-evergreen, hardy perennial which holds its foliage from March to November and tolerates temperatures down to between -5 and -10°C without additional winter protection. Matures to a height of 50cm with a spread of 40cm.
