Salvia 'Amistad' is a magnificent perennial prized for its bold, deep purple flowers with near-black calyces that bloom continuously from late spring to autumn. Its upright, bushy habit and lush green foliage create a striking backdrop for its vibrant, tubular blooms, which are a magnet for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, 'Amistad' is perfect for adding dramatic colour to borders, containers, and wildlife-friendly gardens. Low-maintenance and long-flowering, this variety brings elegance and vitality to any outdoor space. Regular deadheading encourages even more blooms. Borderline hardy, will need winter protection in colder areas
Many garden designers recommend planting Salvia in groups of three for a balanced, cohesive look. It helps the plants stand out together and creates a lovely flow in your garden. But don't worry—this plant also looks great on its own or in smaller groupings!
