Salvia greggii Amethyst Lips is a colourful, long flowering perennial with delicate two toned blooms that shift between white and soft amethyst purple depending on temperature and light. Flowering from late spring well into autumn, it brings steady colour, fragrance and movement to sunny borders, gravel gardens and containers. The aromatic foliage adds extra interest, while the nectar rich flowers attract bees and other pollinators throughout the season. Amethyst Lips has a neat, branching habit and fits beautifully into cottage style and naturalistic planting.

This plant is supplied as a young perennial plug around 3 to 5 cm in size. These smaller plants grow on quickly once planted and usually take around eight to twelve weeks to reach the size of a typical 9 cm growers pot. When your young plant arrives, unpack it straight away, water gently, and place it in a bright, sheltered spot for a short time while it settles. Plant out or pot on as soon as possible, keeping the soil moist while the roots establish. Once settled, it will grow into a healthy, long lasting perennial for your garden.
