Salvia involucrata ‘Mulberry Jam’

Salvia involucrata ‘Mulberry Jam’ is a striking tender salvia that brings vibrant hot pink flowers to sunny gardens from early summer through to late summer. Its tall, elegant stems are adorned with nectar-rich blooms, making it a favourite among bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, and transforming your garden into a lively, buzzing sanctuary.

Unlike many other involucrata varieties, which flower in winter, ‘Mulberry Jam’ provides bright summer colour, creating a cheerful display that pairs beautifully with mixed borders, patio containers, or wildlife-friendly planting schemes. The lush green foliage adds texture and contrast, enhancing the overall garden composition while complementing the bold flower spikes.

As a tender perennial, Salvia ‘Mulberry Jam’ requires protection during winter in the UK. Growing it in a container allows you to move it to a frost-free location, or mulching and providing a fleece cover in the ground can help ensure it survives colder months. Occasional deadheading will encourage fresh blooms and maintain a tidy appearance throughout the flowering season.

With its vibrant hot pink flowers, pollinator appeal, and summer-long impact, Salvia involucrata ‘Mulberry Jam’ is an exceptional choice for gardeners seeking colourful, low-maintenance, and wildlife-friendly plants for sunny borders, patio pots, or mixed perennial schemes.
