Wine and roses, the perfect combination, which is also true for Salvia Wine and Roses. Sheer elegance as the rich red and pink blooms climb the flower spires to wave aloft over mid-green, aromatic foliage. The lower lip of the blooms will fade in colour as the blooms mature, so you will get many shades of colour on the plant at the same time.Alluring, aromatic, evergreen foliage releases a sumptuous sage scent when brushed against. Plant near a path or a seat so you can sit back and watch with pleasure as our pollinating friends visit for a feast from June to November, whilst you enjoy the fresh fragrance.The word Salvia is derived from the Latin 'salvere' meaning 'to save' as it has been used medicinally for centuriesSalvia Wine and Roses prefers to be grown in well-drained soil in a sunny spot but will also thrive in part shade. Growing to a height and spread of 60-90cm, she is a hardy perennial which does not usually require any winter protection in most of the UK.
