L


ooking for a plant that’s
big on flowers and low on
care? Put salvias on your
radar. Perfectly at home in flowery
cottage gardens and looking just
as lovely in contemporary settings
or potted up, salvias are nothing if
not versatile. Easy to grow in any
temperate climate, they offer blooms
right through the warm months in
a fabulous range – from brilliant
red, to pink, mauve, purple, blue,
apricot, white and more besides.


  1. Through summer
    and well into autumn,
    salvias will add flowery
    sparkle to your garden.
    Cluster them in pots
    around your favourite
    outdoor sitting spot.
