Salvia nemorosa ‘Rose Queen’ is a compact, long-flowering perennial that produces masses of rose-pink flower spikes from early summer into autumn. The upright blooms stand above aromatic green foliage, bringing colour, structure, and movement to sunny borders. Loved by bees and butterflies, it’s a reliable choice for adding soft pink tones to mixed plantings.
It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, flowering best when deadheaded regularly. For a natural, balanced display, plant it with Nepeta ‘Walker’s Low’ for gentle texture and Geranium ‘Rozanne’ for long-lasting colour through summer.
