A rich, bright red semi-double flower on tall deep bronze foliage. An old variety, but with freedom from virus, one of the best. | Salvia microphylla 'Hot Lips' (VR) This is a wild selection of the Mexican Salvia microphylla - with small green leaves and unique scarlet-red and white, two-toned flowers. Depending on temperature and moisture these will tend to appear almost completely red or white at any one time, but usually both colours are showing. |
An improvement on previous pink forms with more flowers which hold themselves even better through the summer months on purple-green foliage. | A real "smoothie" colour all year round - rose pink, through raspberry to blackberry shades. Big, bold habit. A blend of heat loving H. villosa and cold tolerance of H. americana. |
Sumptuous velvety-bronze flowers on lanceolate green foliage. This newly bred variety provides even more of a chocolate scent than the previous form and is more compact for pot and garden. |
