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!
Ideal for water wise gardening. Deer resistant! Ideal for attracting birds and bees to the garden.
