Description:

Salvia Peter Vidgeon

This is a stunning variety with pearly lilac pink flowers. As with all salvias, drought tolerant and can be grown in the border or in containers. This really is one of our favourites not only for its stunning blooms, but for how well it performs in the garden.

During the flowering season (spring to late summer outside), trim back spent flowers to next leaf node. Additionally, if in a pot, feed once every 3 – 4 weeks with a seaweed fertiliser.

Salvias are great plants for attracting insects and we have even seen hummingbird hawkmoths on the flowers.

£3.00 – £7.30
