Perennial salvias make a great addition to mixed borders, bearing spiky, nectar-rich flowers throughout the summer months, and often into autumn.

Salvia 'Wendy's Wish' bears masses of magenta, citrus-scented flowers on bushy plants with mid-green foliage, from midsummer to autumn. It's perfect for planting near a bench or path, where you can enjoy its pretty blooms, or in an informal, mixed, sunny border. The flowers are extremely attractive bees and other pollinators.

For best results grow Salvia 'Wendy's Wish' in well-drained soil, in full sun. Plants may need protection in extreme winters.
