Product description
Salvia Pink Amistad is a striking perennial Sage with tall spikes of soft pink flowers that stand out beautifully against deep green foliage. Flowering from June right through to October, it provides months of reliable colour, making it one of the longest-flowering Salvias available. This variety is perfect for adding height and structure to borders and containers, while also attracting bees and butterflies with its nectar-rich blooms.
Looking after Salvia Pink Amistad is simple. Plant in full sun or partial shade in well-drained soil and water regularly until established. Deadheading faded flowers will encourage more blooms, and cutting the stems back in late autumn or early spring will keep the plant healthy for the following year. With some added winter protection, this charming perennial will return each summer, offering vibrant colour and a steady supply of flowers to enjoy throughout the season.
Please Note: When purchasing plants, please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. The plant will be supplied in a growers pot. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage new blooms and extend the flowering season.
How to Water
Water Salvia deeply when the soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure the soil is well-drained to prevent waterlogging. Once established, Salvia is drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional watering during hot, dry periods.
How to Plant
Plant Salvia in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and position the plant. Fill in the hole with soil and water well. Space plants 30-45cm apart, depending on the variety.
