Salvia ‘Salgoon Lake Como’, 2L
£16.00
- out of stock
notes
With spikes of lavender blue flowers that appear above aromatic foliage from early spring to late autumn, Salvia ‘Salgoon Lake Como’ makes a wonderful addition to the garden. A magnet for bees and butterflies, the long flowering plant is also notable for its resilience - thriving in hot and dry conditions once established. It is, however, a tender perennial, so will need protection to survive the winter.
Dimensions
- Pot size: 2L
- Height & Spread: 45cm (1ft 6in) x 45cm (1ft 6in) in 2-5 years
