Plant Description

A brand-new salvia for 2026, Salvia ‘Bobby Dazzler’ is set to make a real statement in summer borders. It produces striking pink flowers beautifully offset by contrasting white calyces, creating a vibrant, eye-catching display. Bred by renowned plantsman David Dyson — the creator of favourites such as Salvia ‘Amethyst Lips’ — this exciting introduction combines standout colour with exceptional garden performance and proven pedigree.

Flowering from summer through to autumn, ‘Bobby Dazzler’ is a magnet for bees and butterflies, making it a wonderful choice for wildlife-friendly planting schemes. Thriving in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil, it is low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established. Regular deadheading will encourage an even longer display of blooms. Perfect for borders, containers, or mixed perennial beds, this aromatic salvia adds bold colour, texture, and effortless charm to gardens of all styles.

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 ‘Bobby Dazzler’ moderately drought-tolerant once established, thriving in well-drained soil and full sun. Tender salvias are less drought-tolerant and require more consistent watering.
