Salvia x jamensis Hot Lips
WHICH POT SIZE?
9cm is the width of the pot. 1L, 1.5L and 3L describe how much it holds, rather than how tall the plant will grow.
A smaller pot gives you a young plant to grow on; a larger pot usually gives you a more established root system. Check the height and spread below for the room it will need in the garden.

A favourite salvia of ours, this shrubby sage features bi pinnate small aromatic mid green leaves with terminal racemes of bi colour scarlet red and white flowers throughout summer and autumn. The flowers initially open red, fading to white with red lips in mid summer and eventually to all white as the summer cools. Attractive to pollinators, and a recipient of the prestiguous RHS AGM award, this plant will brighten any garden anywhere, when planted in decent well drainesd soil in full sun or light shade. As with all salvias will appreciate a bit of extra protection in particularly wet or cold winters, but is hardy enough to survive most normal winters in a well drained sunny spot. Can eventually grow to 1m x 1m, but easy to control by trimming back when new growth starts to appear in spring.
