Plant information

Plant Description

Salvia x jamensis ‘Javier’ is a striking perennial that brings months of vibrant colour to your garden, blooming from early summer through to late autumn. Its fiery red flowers stand out beautifully against lush green foliage, creating a lively display that attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, turning your outdoor space into a buzzing, vibrant haven.

This variety is ideal for borders, mixed perennial beds, or patio containers, where its upright, bushy habit adds structure without overpowering neighbouring plants. The aromatic foliage releases a subtle fragrance when brushed, enhancing the sensory appeal of your garden.

As a tender salvia, ‘Javier’ is not fully hardy in the UK. For winter survival, take cuttings or move containers to a frost-free location, ensuring you enjoy this stunning plant year after year.

Bred by New World Plants (UK), this variety is prized for its long flowering season, vivid colour, and pollinator-friendly blooms. Whether used as a focal point or to bring life and movement to borders, Salvia x jamensis ‘Javier’ adds effortless charm and enduring beauty to any sunny garden.

🌿 How to Care for Salvia x jamensis ‘Javier’

How do I prune Salvia x jamensis ‘Javier’?
Salvia x jamensis ‘Javier’ should be left through the winter, as the dead wood protects them from frost. They can be pruned in early spring, and more vigorous varieties may be trimmed again around June.
Salvia x jamensis ‘Javier’ can be susceptible to aphids, capsid bugs, whitefly, sage leafhoppers, and glasshouse red spider mites. Additionally, fungal issues like grey mould (Botrytis) can develop in cool and damp conditions, especially during overwintering.
Water Salvia x jamensis ‘Javier’ regularly during dry spells, particularly newly planted ones. Established hardy salvias are drought-tolerant but benefit from deep watering during prolonged hot periods. Avoid waterlogging, as it can cause root rot.
Salvia x jamensis ‘Javier’ require light feeding in spring with a balanced slow-release fertiliser or compost. Tender salvias benefit from fertilisation every 2–4 weeks during the growing season using a liquid feed for flowering plants. Over-fertilising should be avoided, as it can encourage foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
Propagation of Salvia x jamensis ‘Javier’is prohibited without a licence
Salvia x jamensis ‘Javier’ should be trimmed around April or May, a technique often called the “Chelsea Chop,” once new shoots start to appear. Cut back to the fresh growth, and continue deadheading throughout the season. Vigorous varieties can be pruned again in July to encourage bushier, greener plants rather than tall, woody stems. Salvias should not be cut back in autumn, as leaving the foliage intact helps protect the plant from frost.
Salvia x jamensis ‘Javier’ moderately drought-tolerant once established, thriving in well-drained soil and full sun. Tender salvias are less drought-tolerant and require more consistent watering.
Salvia x jamensis ‘Javier’ performs well in UK gardens if given full sun and free-draining soil. It’s hardy in most areas, flowers for months in summer and autumn, and suits borders or containers. Avoid winter wet and prune lightly in spring.
