Salvia microphylla 'Amethyst Lips'
Salvia microphylla 'Amethyst Lips' is a vibrant, bushy perennial producing masses of small, eye-catching flowers in a striking blend of purple and white. The blooms may also appear solid in colour depending on temperature and growing conditions, creating an ever-changing display throughout the season.
Flowering continuously from early summer until autumn, this exceptional variety provides months of colour in sunny borders, gravel gardens and wildlife-friendly planting schemes. Its compact, upright habit makes it easy to incorporate into mixed borders, where it pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses and other late-season perennials.
The aromatic foliage releases a pleasant fragrance when brushed against, while the nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects. Once established, 'Amethyst Lips' is drought tolerant and remarkably easy to grow, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens.
