Description
A charming variety of Salvia (Clary Sage) that’s loved for its soft, romantic look and delightful fragrance. It produces tall spikes of rosy-pink flowers that rise above pretty, silvery-green foliage, creating a dreamy, cottage-garden vibe.
This plant is a magnet for bees and butterflies and blooms through summer into early autumn, adding a long-lasting splash of colour.
It thrives in sunny spots with well-drained soil and doesn’t need much fuss — just some sunshine and the occasional drink of water. It’s perfect for flower borders, pollinator gardens and makes a great cut flower.
In short, it’s a low-maintenance beauty that brings a soft, cheerful energy wherever it’s planted – a scoop of pink ice cream on a sunny day.
How to grow: Indoors Feb-April, Outdoors May-June. Indoor sowings: Surface sow on a tray or pot of fine seed compost, water carefully and place in a plastic bag or propagator in a sunny, warm position. Germination can be slow so patience required!

Outdoor sowings: surface sow, firming seeds in gently. Keep moist until established then thin to 30-45cm (12-18”) apart. A biennial that performs better as an annual. Plant height 50cm (18″) approx.
