Salvia nemorosa 'Caradonna Pink', 2L
£15.00
notes
The new Salvia nemorosa 'Caradonna Pink' is likely to become, like its purple relation (Salvia Caradonna), a stalwart in the Cottage garden. Both are hardy, long flowering and attractive to native pollinators, but this variety produces deep pink spires of flowers which look marvellous with the silvery grey foliage of such plants as Artemesia, Stachys or Lavendula.
Dimensions
- Pot size: 2L
- Height and Spread: 70cm (27in) x 70cm (27in) after 2-5 years

INSIGHTS
Native to Europe and central Asia, Balkan Clary is wonderfully robust and has been a popular sight in British gardens for centuries, planted in traditional herbaceous borders or in containers on a sunny terrace. Beautiful in flower arrangements, the spikes attract native pollinators so leave a few in the garden for the bees!
