Salvia Mojave Red

Common Name: Mojave Red Salvia

Description:
Salvia 'Mojave Red' is a striking, compact flowering plant that produces brilliant red blooms over a long season, from late spring through to autumn. This vibrant annual is perfect for adding intense colour to garden beds, borders, and pots. It thrives in Melbourne’s climate, preferring full sun and well-drained soil, though it can tolerate part shade. Its heat and drought tolerance make it an excellent low-maintenance choice for both home gardens and commercial landscapes. The tubular flowers attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, adding movement and life to the garden. Regular deadheading will encourage continuous blooms, ensuring a bold display throughout the warmer months.
