Salvia curviflora is a gorgeous, perennial salvia, bearing long spikes of bright, intense pink blooms that contrast beautifully with dark green foliage. It’s ideal for growing in a sunny border or conservatory, and makes a striking specimen for a container.

Grow Salvia curviflora in a sheltered, sunny spot in well-drained soil. Hardy to -4°C, it may need protection in winter. Otherwise, to insure against loss, take summer cuttings and overwinter them indoors.
