Love and Wishes Sage
Salvia ‘love & wishes’
Love and Wishes Sage is a dramatic and sophisticated selection prized for its stunning two-toned floral display. It produces upright spikes of deep rose-pink flowers, but the true show-stoppers are the contrasting, velvety burgundy-red calyces that hold each bloom. This striking color combination persists even after the flowers drop, significantly extending the plant's ornamental interest. With a neat, upright habit and the same incredible flowering stamina as its relatives, it adds rich color and architectural form to sunny gardens from spring through fall.
