Salvia farinacea Victoria White

Common Name:
Mealycup Sage ‘Victoria White’

Description:
Salvia farinacea ‘Victoria White’ is a compact, bushy perennial (often grown as an annual in cooler climates) valued for its elegant spikes of pure white flowers that provide a clean, crisp contrast in the garden. Flowering prolifically from late spring through to autumn, it produces upright stems densely packed with small blooms that rise above soft, grey-green foliage. This variety is particularly well suited to Melbourne conditions, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil while offering good heat and drought tolerance once established. Its neat growth habit makes it ideal for borders, mass planting, and container displays, where it delivers consistent, long-lasting colour. Regular deadheading encourages continuous flowering and maintains a tidy appearance. Highly attractive to bees and beneficial insects, ‘Victoria White’ is a reliable and low-maintenance addition to both formal and cottage-style gardens.
