Salvia microphylla ‘Heatwave blast’

Salvia microphylla ‘Heatwave Blast’ is a vibrant perennial that fills sunny gardens with warm coral-pink flowers from late spring right through to autumn. Its abundant blooms create a lively, cheerful display that instantly brightens borders, mixed perennial beds, and patio containers.

Whether used in sunny borders or as part of a container scheme, it brings energy, fragrance, and continuous summer-to-autumn blooms to any outdoor space.
