Salvia SO COOL™ ‘Pink’

Common Name:
Salvia ‘So Cool Pink’

Description:
Salvia SO COOL™ ‘Pink’ is a vibrant and compact evergreen shrub from the Australian-bred SO COOL™ series, specifically designed for superior performance in hot, dry climates. ‘Pink’ boasts masses of clear pink, tubular flowers that stand out vividly against its fresh green, aromatic foliage. The plant maintains a dense, tidy form, making it ideal for small gardens, borders, and container displays. Flowering heavily from spring through to autumn, this salvia attracts bees and beneficial pollinators while delivering a continuous splash of colour across the warmer months. In Melbourne’s climate, ‘So Cool Pink’ thrives in full sun and free-draining soils, handling both heat and mild frost with ease. Minimal maintenance is needed beyond an occasional trim after flowering to promote dense regrowth and further blooming. Its drought tolerance and neat habit make it a reliable and striking choice for low-maintenance and water-wise gardens.
