Description
These beautiful little flowers bring a lovely combination of colour to the garden, with pretty rose-pink and contrasting tones that make this salvia a real treat to grow. For the best display, we recommend planting in groups of three, where the flowers can mingle together to create a wonderful splash of colour throughout the summer.
With its compact, bushy habit and long flowering season, Salvia ‘Mirage Rose Bicolour’ is ideal for sunny borders, gravel gardens and patio containers. It’s also a lovely choice for pollinators, with bees and butterflies often visiting the flowers.
Plant it in a sunny position in well-drained soil, and water regularly while it settles in. This salvia is drought-tolerant. Once established, it will cope well with drier conditions, although a ‘drink’ during prolonged hot, dry spells will help keep it looking its best.
A light prune in spring will encourage fresh growth and help maintain its neat, compact shape. Avoid leaving the roots sitting in waterlogged soil, particularly during winter.
Easy to grow, drought-tolerant and full of charm, Salvia ‘Mirage Rose Bicolour’ is a lovely way to add colour and attract pollinators to your garden.
