Season of Interest

Summer - Autumn

Salvia Hot Lips has large, open-mouthed white and red blooms throughout summer, on compact scented, bushy plants.

Sometimes in hot weather some blooms may be fully red or white. It is perfect for planting near a bench or path, where you can enjoy its pretty blooms and fragrant foliage.

Perennial sages are worth their weight in gold in ornamental borders, thanks to their summer-long displays of spiky, nectar-rich flowers perfect for the bee.

It has a long flowering season that continues until the first frost and it is drought tolerant.

Time to ultimate height 2 to 5 years.
