Salvia SO COOL™ ‘Lilac’

Common Name:
Salvia SO COOL ‘Lilac’

Description:
Salvia SO COOL ‘Lilac’ is a striking small shrub known for its dense, upright form and soft lilac-toned flowers that bloom over a long season. Part of the SO COOL™ series, this variety was developed for enhanced heat tolerance, making it an excellent choice for Melbourne's often hot and dry summers. The softly coloured blooms appear in abundance from spring through to late autumn, held above aromatic, mid-green foliage that releases a pleasant scent when brushed. ‘Lilac’ offers excellent performance in both garden beds and containers, thriving in well-drained soils and sunny positions. Its compact, rounded shape makes it a tidy addition to borders, low hedging, or mixed planting schemes. Light pruning after flowering will encourage repeat blooming and maintain a neat habit. With its strong garden performance, water-wise nature, and pollinator-friendly flowers, Salvia SO COOL ‘Lilac’ brings both beauty and resilience to any landscape.
