- Aromatic foliage with a blackcurrant fragrance
- Naturally bushy and compact habit
- Grows in full sun
Salvia 'Hot Lips' is a showy ornamental sage, perfect for adding vibrant colour to your patio or garden borders. These naturally bushy perennials feature spikes of open-mouthed, bicolour blooms, a striking display that will capture attention. In hot weather, the individual flowers can shift to solid red or white, offering a delightful surprise. Beyond its visual appeal, the aromatic foliage releases a subtle blackcurrant fragrance, enriching the sensory experience.
Ideal for cottage gardens, containers, or bedding schemes, 'Hot Lips' reaches a height of 90cm (35") with a spread of 60cm (24"). A hardy addition to any garden, it demonstrates good drought resistance once established. For optimal growth, plant in full sun and well-drained soil, providing a sheltered location to protect it from strong winds. Plants grown in containers benefit from winter protection in a cold greenhouse or conservatory. Light pruning in late spring encourages a bushy habit, ensuring a stunning display year after year.
