Salvia Wendy’s Wish

Salvia Wendy’s Wish

Salvia Wendy’s Wish is similar to the wonderful Love and Wishes with the magenta flowers but with pinker calyxes. The foliage is slightly aromatic. It is a hybrid of Salvia buchananii. In some sheltered gardens with free draining soil it will survive a chilly winter but ideally placed in a large pot so it can be sheltered over the cold months. Like all salvias, we recommend trimming back in warm spring weather but if bringing into a warm environment for the winter it will help to cut back to strengthen the plant form the following year.

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

A very neat growing variety with a height of up to 2.5 feet. The plant is wonderful at attracting insects and we have even seen hummingbird hawkmoths on the flowers.
