Salvia ‘Amante’

A long-flowering salvia producing abundant spikes of rich rose-pink to soft magenta flowers over a neat mound of aromatic, mid-green foliage. Blooming continuously through the warmer months, it brings strong, reliable colour and a light, airy vertical accent to sunny borders. The flowers are held above the foliage on well-branched stems, creating a soft, naturalistic effect that blends easily into mixed planting schemes.
