Salvia ‘Velour Pink’

Common Name:
Velour Pink Salvia

Description:
Salvia ‘Velour Pink’ is a vibrant, compact perennial prized for its vivid magenta-pink blooms and strong, repeat-flowering performance throughout the warmer months. Part of a breeding line developed for bright colour and tidy growth, ‘Velour Pink’ produces an abundance of tubular flowers set against aromatic green foliage from late spring into autumn, making it a standout in borders, containers, and pollinator-friendly plantings. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil and shows excellent drought tolerance once established — ideal for Melbourne’s hot, dry summers. The compact, rounded form requires minimal maintenance, and light pruning after flowering will encourage a fresh flush of blooms. Its rich flower colour draws in bees, butterflies, and small nectar-feeding birds, adding both beauty and biodiversity to the garden. Whether mass-planted or used as a highlight in mixed beds, ‘Velour Pink’ delivers dependable colour and resilience in a wide range of garden settings.
