Salvia ‘Pink Mulberry’

If you’re looking for something a little different, Salvia involucrata ‘Mulberry Jam’ certainly stands out. Its flowers are a rich, deep pink, each one topped with a softly fuzzy hood and finished with contrasting white-tipped lips. The effect is vibrant yet refined, giving borders a luxurious splash of colour from early right through to late summer.

Unlike many involucrata types that flower later in the year, ‘Mulberry Jam’ begins earlier in the season, making it a valuable addition to summer planting schemes. The blooms are packed with nectar and are especially attractive to bees and butterflies, bringing movement and life into the garden.

This variety is a hybrid from Australia, bred from Salvia greggii ‘Alba’ × Salvia involucrata, combining the floriferous nature of greggii with the bold flower size of involucrata. The result is a vigorous, eye-catching plant with real garden presence.

As a tender salvia, it will need generous winter protection in the UK. Plant in a sunny, sheltered position with well-drained soil and apply a thick mulch before colder weather arrives.

For gardeners wanting bold summer colour and strong pollinator appeal, ‘Mulberry Jam’ is a memorable and rewarding choice.
