Plant information

Plant Description

Salvia greggii ‘Cool Cream’ is a beautiful modern introduction, launched in 2019, and prized for its elegant cream-white flowers. The soft blooms stand out wonderfully against fresh green foliage, creating a refined and versatile look that complements a wide range of planting styles. Free-flowering and long-lasting, it brings reliable colour from late spring through summer.

Perfect for both pots and borders, ‘Cool Cream’ has a neat, compact habit that makes it especially useful for patio containers and the front of sunny beds. Its nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees, helping to support pollinators throughout the season.

Although hardy in mild conditions, this variety will benefit from protection during severe frost, particularly in colder regions or exposed sites. Plant in well-drained soil in a sunny, sheltered position for best results. Part of the popular ‘Cool’ collection, it combines modern breeding with classic salvia charm.

🌿 How to Care for Salvia greggii ‘Cool Cream’

Salvia greggii ‘Cool Cream’ 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 ‘Cool Cream’ 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 ‘Cool Cream’ 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 ‘Cool Cream’ 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 ‘Cool Cream’is prohibited without a licence
Salvia greggii ‘Cool Cream’ 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 ‘Cool Cream’ 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 ‘Cool Cream’ 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.
