Thompson & Morgan Salvia Microphylla Amethyst Lips Postiplug 3 Pack

Behold the ever-changing hues of Salvia ‘Amethyst Lips’, a remarkably long-flowering variety that’s simple to cultivate. Bursting into a profusion of blooms in early summer, they start predominantly a rich, deep purple colour. As the season unfolds, watch as they transform into a captivating purple and white bi-colour, before gracefully fading to pure white as summer draws to a close.This low-maintenance, drought-tolerant gem is an excellent addition to gardens of all styles, thriving in both borders and pots. Expect a rewarding, season-long display year after year.To nurture your Salvia, pot up the plants into containers filled with free-draining compost. Keep them in a frost-free environment until they’re robust enough for outdoor planting. Once the threat of frost has passed and the plants are well-developed, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days. Plant them outdoors in moist, well-drained soil, choosing a sheltered location with plenty of sunshine. Feed and water regularly until fully established.While perennial, this Salvia benefits from winter protection, particularly in colder regions of the UK. If grown in containers, move them to a cold greenhouse or conservatory during the winter months. In late spring, lightly prune to remove dead stems and encourage a bushy habit.Position: Full Sun.Height: Up to 90cm when fully established.Spread: Up to 60cm when fully established.Supplied as 3 x Salvia ‘Amethyst Lips’ jumbo plug plants, delivered with growing and care instructions.Images shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
