Plant information

Plant Description

Salvia greggii ‘Salmon Dance’ is a vibrant, long-flowering perennial that fills gardens with soft salmon-pink blooms from late spring right through to autumn. Its delicate, tubular flowers sway gracefully on upright stems, creating movement and texture in borders, mixed perennial beds, or patio containers. Each bloom is rich in nectar, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, turning your garden into a lively, buzzing sanctuary.

The aromatic green foliage adds subtle fragrance and forms a tidy, bushy base, making it easy to combine with other perennials or ornamental grasses. With a compact habit, this variety works equally well as a focal point in pots or as part of a layered border.

Thriving in full sun with well-drained soil, Salvia greggii ‘Salmon Dance’ is hardy once established and drought-tolerant, requiring minimal care. Occasional deadheading encourages a second flush of blooms, extending the vibrant display well into autumn. While resilient, providing some frost protection during severe UK winters ensures it returns strong each year.

Bred for gardeners seeking colourful, low-maintenance, pollinator-friendly plants, Salvia greggii ‘Salmon Dance’ delivers months of continuous colour, fragrance, and garden life, making it an essential addition to sunny outdoor spaces.

🌿 How to Care for Salvia greggii ‘Salmon Dance’

Salvia greggii ‘Salmon Dance’ 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 greggii ‘Salmon Dance’ 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 greggii ‘Salmon Dance’ 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 greggii ‘Salmon Dance’ 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 greggii ‘Salmon Dance’is prohibited without a licence
Salvia greggii ‘Salmon Dance’ 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 greggii ‘Salmon Dance’ 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 greggii ‘Salmon Dance’ 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.
