Salvia Mirage™ ‘Rose Bicolor’

Common Name:
Rose Bicolour Sage

Description:
Salvia Mirage™ ‘Rose Bicolor’ is a compact and eye-catching flowering sage, ideal for small gardens, containers, and borders in Melbourne. This variety forms a neat, bushy mound of aromatic green foliage, topped with masses of delicate rose-pink and cream bi-colour flowers that appear from spring through to autumn. It provides a long-lasting display of colour, attracting bees and beneficial insects throughout the warmer months. Thriving in full sun to part shade, it prefers well-drained soil and is drought-tolerant once established. Light pruning after each flowering flush will encourage continuous blooming and maintain its tidy shape. A hardy perennial, it offers a reliable and low-maintenance solution for both formal and cottage-style gardens.
