Salvia Salgoon Lake Titicaca

Common Name:
Lake Titicaca Sage

Description:
Salvia 'Lake Titicaca' is a standout cultivar from the Salgoon Series, celebrated for its compact form and profusion of vibrant lilac-blue flowers. This perennial sage boasts upright, well-branched growth, making it an excellent choice for containers, borders, and mass plantings. The plant's lush green foliage provides a striking contrast to its richly coloured blooms, which appear from late spring through to autumn. In Melbourne's climate, 'Lake Titicaca' thrives in full sun to part shade, preferring well-drained soils. It's both heat and drought-tolerant once established, requiring minimal maintenance. Regular deadheading encourages continuous flowering, and a light prune after the blooming season helps maintain its tidy shape. Its extended flowering period and resilience make it a valuable addition to any garden.
