Salvia x buchananii Rose

Common Name: Rose Buchanan’s Sage

Description:
Salvia × buchananii 'Rose' is a stunning, compact perennial prized for its deep rose-pink, velvety flowers that bloom prolifically from late spring through to autumn. Its rich-coloured blooms stand out beautifully against the plant’s lush green, aromatic foliage, making it a fantastic addition to garden beds, borders, and pots. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, this salvia prefers well-drained soil and full sun but can tolerate part shade. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires minimal maintenance. Its nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, adding movement and life to the garden. Regular deadheading encourages extended blooming, and its strong, upright stems make it an excellent choice for cut flower arrangements.
