Description
Salvia involucrata 'Bethellii'
A late but glorious bloomer, Rose bud Sage starts producing hot pink blossoms in late summer and continues well into winter. In very protected arias in Northland even all year long -- growing more spectacular every day -- unless cut down to the ground by hard frost.
The emerging flowers look like pink rose buds and grow bigger by the day. The leaves have a very pretty grass green with a velvety texture. The seams and stalks feature a nice dark red.
In the hottest climates, Rose bud Sage requires a bit of deep shade. It appreciates rich soil and regular watering. Growing up to 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide, it makes a fine screen or background planting, such as at the back of borders.
It is a bit more tender then other sages ( can handle dips down – 5 C) and will need good protection from heavy frost. Thick mulch does help a lot.
Some wind protection is appreciated.
Use this sage where you want a bold, strong statement.
This auction is for 1 plant size: pot pb2 approx. 20cm over ground with several leaders.
