Plant description
Salvia x microphylla 'Radiance' is a decorative, tough perennial shrub with pink flowers with a colourful calyx that persists after the flower drops. It flowers through the warm months of the year. It has evergreen aromatic foliage on a fast growing compact plant. This is an easy care plant with few pests and diseases. It will grow well in a wide range of soil types, but prefers a fertile well drained soil. It is drought tolerant once established. Prune by a third after flowering to maintain a bushy growth habit, and fertilise regularly.
