Vibrant magenta-pink colour in winter-spring, often through until autumn, and a size big enough to be seen but not so big it overwhelms other plants - this roseleaf sage is rarely available, and a great addition to your garden if you have a sheltered spot that doesn't get too cold.

It's smaller than its parent species form, strong and upright, and will flower in dappled shade too. A light frost may kill off some growth above ground, but it should reshoot from its roots once the weather warms up.

Salvia involucrata 'Mulberry Jam' - roseleaf flowering sage

APPEARANCE: Tall shrubby perennial Mexican sage with soft foliage, cool-tone magenta pink tubular flowers from late winter to spring.
USE IN: Cottage style gardens, mixed beds and borders, wildlife gardens, pots and tubs.
PLANTING: Plant in a full sun to partly shaded position in the garden, in rich soil. Mulch and water regularly until the plant is established, usually around 12 weeks. Water regularly in dry periods. A sheltered position will help keep the plant looking good.
CARE: Clip over after flowering, to encourage fresh growth and more flowers. Cut it hard back in summer, almost to the ground, when it has a rest from blooming. Fertilise in spring using a slow release fertiliser, give an extra boost during the summer heat using eco-seaweed. Protect from hard frost and mulch in winter to keep soil warm.
HEIGHT & WIDTH:  1.2m H x 1m W.
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
You can see an example in the image gallery.
