Plant information

Plant Description

Salvia ‘Harvest Sunset’ brings the warmth of a late summer evening to your garden with rich orange and golden-red flowers that bloom from early summer through to autumn. Its vibrant colours make it a standout in borders, mixed perennial beds, or patio containers, creating a long-lasting display that draws the eye and lifts the garden atmosphere.

This variety is a magnet for pollinators, attracting bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects, helping to create a lively, thriving garden ecosystem. The aromatic foliage adds texture and a subtle fragrance, enhancing the sensory experience of your outdoor space.

Compact yet bushy, ‘Harvest Sunset’ works beautifully as a structural element in sunny borders or as a vibrant focal point in containers. It thrives in full sun with well-drained soil, is drought-tolerant once established, and requires minimal maintenance. Occasional deadheading encourages a second wave of blooms, extending the season of impact.

In cooler UK climates, providing a light mulch or winter protection helps this tender perennial continue to perform year after year.

For gardeners seeking warm, pollinator-friendly, and long-flowering colour, Salvia ‘Harvest Sunset’ delivers both beauty and resilience, making it an exceptional addition to any sunny garden.

🌿 How to Care for Salvia ‘Harvest Sunset’

How do I prune Salvia ‘Harvest Sunset’?
Salvia ‘Harvest Sunset’ 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 ‘Harvest Sunset’ 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 ‘Harvest Sunset’ 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 ‘Harvest Sunset’ 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 ‘Harvest Sunset’is prohibited without a licence
Salvia ‘Harvest Sunset’ 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 ‘Harvest Sunset’ 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 ‘Harvest Sunset’ 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.
