Description:
Salvias have a great reputation as a water wise family that thrive in sunshine and dry, open soils. The Heatwave series is a compact range, in comparison to many other Salvias that have a tendency to spread and become leggy. The tighter foliage allows them to feature more prominently in the garden, providing colour right throughout the warmer months. The evergreen, aromatic foliage is also a welcome addition to any garden, providing colour for a very long period from spring right through to autumn in most climates. Heatwave Sparkle has strong, deep pink flowers and grows approx 70cm tall x 1m wide.
