Woody-based perennial. This spectacular hybrid came to us from Rolando Uria, who bought it from a nursery in Argentina labelled simply ‘Salvia’.

Robin Middleton thinks it highly probable that it is a hybrid between Ss. wagneriana and involucrata, so we will continue to use this name until a less unwieldy title can be arrived at.

Produces congested inflorescences of deep pink flowers with attractive pink and white lower lip.

Winter flowering so will need a warm greenhouse to give of its best
