Description: Salvia ‘Velour White’ is a compact, long-flowering perennial salvia known for its clean, pure white tubular blooms and neat, rounded habit. Part of the Velour series, this variety has been bred for strong garden performance, continuous flowering, and excellent form. From late spring through to autumn in Melbourne gardens, it produces dense spikes of crisp white flowers above fragrant green foliage, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. ‘Velour White’ thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and offers excellent heat and drought tolerance once established. Its tidy, low-growing structure makes it a versatile addition to mixed borders, cottage gardens, modern landscapes, and containers. Minimal care is required beyond a light prune after each flowering flush to promote further blooming. The luminous white flowers pair effortlessly with both soft pastels and bold colours, offering endless design flexibility and all-season brightness in the garden.
