Salvia HEATWAVE™ ‘Glare’

Common Name:
Salvia ‘Glare’

Description:
Salvia HEATWAVE™ ‘Glare’ is a compact, evergreen shrub from the Australian-bred HEATWAVE™ series, specially developed to thrive in hot, dry conditions and perform reliably in Australian gardens. ‘Glare’ features masses of pure white flowers that appear over a long season, standing out against aromatic grey-green foliage. Its tidy, bushy habit makes it ideal for low hedging, mixed borders, or water-wise gardens. Flowering prolifically from spring through to autumn, this salvia is a magnet for bees and pollinators and provides a crisp, cooling contrast in vibrant planting schemes. In Melbourne, ‘Glare’ grows best in full sun with well-drained soil and requires minimal maintenance beyond a light prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage fresh blooms. Its high heat and drought tolerance, combined with a neat, mounding form, make it a go-to for gardeners seeking impact with low effort.
