Salvia microphylla ‘Pink Lips’ (Jeremy) (Lips Series)

Salvia microphylla ‘Pink Lips’ is a charming and free-flowering perennial, introduced in 2017, and prized for its distinctive two-tone blooms. The soft pink upper petals contrast beautifully with a pale, almost white lower lip, creating a delicate yet eye-catching display that lasts from early summer through to autumn.

This compact, bushy salvia produces masses of nectar-rich flowers that attract bees and butterflies, making it an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. Its aromatic green foliage releases a light fragrance when brushed, adding further seasonal interest.

Ideal for sunny borders, cottage garden planting, and patio containers, ‘Pink Lips’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it shows good drought tolerance and requires minimal maintenance, rewarding gardeners with continuous colour and reliable performance. In colder areas, applying a protective mulch in autumn will help safeguard the roots during severe winter conditions.

With its long flowering season, attractive bi-coloured blooms, and pollinator appeal, Salvia microphylla ‘Pink Lips’ is a wonderful choice for gardeners seeking dependable summer colour and structure. A beautiful addition to any planting scheme, it brings elegance and vibrancy to borders and pots alike.
