Salvia
An incredibly diverse genus of perennials and shrubs from Europe, South America and Asia, widely grown for their architectural foliage and brightly coloured flowers. Salvias are widely used to compliment herbaceous plantings, as many species have a far longer flowering period than most bulbs and perennials. Salvias have also become popular in coastal and drier climates, and flourish where many of the more traditional garden species will perish. |
