SALVIA patens 'Dot's Delight'

Description

Salvia patens 'Dot's Delight'

Height x Spread:75cm x 45cm

A long flowering cultivar, 'Dot's Delight' bears large, two toned, bright blue and white, hook-like flowers on green stems with neat sage-scented foliage. This form of Salvia patens is particularly prized for its unusual striking flowers, which it produces throughout the summer. Bees and other pollinators love them too.

Light and airy in form, grow it where you can best enjoy the combination of colour and scent, such as the front of a sunny border or in containers around a courtyard. Do not cut down fully until the frosts have finished. Low maintenance, it grows best in a well-drained soil in full sun. Hardy's launched Salvia patens 'Dot's Delight' at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, on behalf of the breeder in 2007.
