Salvia 'Hot Lips' - 3 Litre Pot
Salvia 'Hot Lips' is a vibrant and eye-catching perennial that brings bold colour and movement to any garden. Known for its unique two-tone flowers, this Salvia produces small, tubular blooms in striking shades of red and white from late Spring until Autumn. The flower colour can even change with the temperature, sometimes appearing as solid red, pure white, or a mix of both, adding an element of surprise to your garden display.
Growing to about 80-100 cm in height, 'Hot Lips' has a bushy, upright habit with aromatic, green foliage that makes it a favourite among pollinators like bees and butterflies. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for borders, containers, or cottage gardens.
Our team on our Herefordshire nursery loves Salvia 'Hot Lips' for its long flowering season, low-maintenance needs, and drought-tolerant nature, which make it perfect for busy gardeners or those looking for reliable garden performers. It pairs beautifully with other sun-loving perennials like Echinacea, Lavender, or ornamental grasses, bringing a lively and colourful feel to mixed borders or patio plantings.
