Salvia x sylvestris Rose Queen

A fully hardy perennial sage, whose stiffly upright spikes are densely packed with deep pink buds.  These open to rose pink flowers from midsummer, making it a tremendous addition to the herbaceous border in a period often lacking colour. A long flowering period and the architectural nature of the plant make it perfect for mass planting in perennial border. Max height 70cm x max spread 30cm, does well on well drained soils and best in full sun.
