Perennial salvias make a great addition to ornamental borders, with their summer-long displays of spiky, nectar-rich flowers. Salvia 'Mulberry Jam' is a particularly lovely variety. With a compact and free-flowering habit it's ideal for a small garden, bearing hot-pink flowers from August to November.
For best results grow Salvia 'Mulberry Jam' in a sunny, sheltered spot in well-drained soil. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage flowers into mid-autumn. Mulch annually with well-rotted manure or garden compost.
Salvia'Mulberry Jam' is only half hardy, so provide winter protection from autumn onwards, or move indoors.
