Salvia 'Pink Amistad'

'Pink Amistad' is as its name would suggest a pink form of Salvia 'Amistad', willowy spikes of large pink flowers appear from late May until stopped by the first autumn frosts. 

It looks simply stunning planted in drifts through a herbaceous or mixed border, adding weaving vertical punctuation and dramatic colour that really draws the eye.  Much beloved by bees,it suits loose naturalistic schemes combined with ornamental grasses and daisy-type flowers such as Rudbeckia, but is also suitable for coastal gardens.  Frost hardy, it needs protection in harsh winters.  A spot in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil will suit it best. 

H3: hardy in coastal and relatively mild parts of the UK (-5 to 1)

Height x Spread: 150cm x 60cm
