Salvia Heatwave ‘Brilliance’ uspp #25606

Posted in Flowering Shrubs, New Plants, Perennials, Plant Portfolio, Salvia Heatwave Collection

Salvia Brilliance has bright magenta flowers that last all summer and well into autumn. Neat and compact free-flowering shrub, thrives in hot and sunny gardens. The Heatwave  Salvia’s are a cross of microphylla x greggii, eliminating the variable range of habits and lack of garden hardiness associated with so many of the straight Salvia greggii forms in the market. The plants are very tight habit in appearance. Deer proof is huge advantage!
