Tickled Pink Baby Sage 180MM

Salvia microphylla 'Tickled Pink'

I am Tickled Pink Baby Sage. My family originated from Mexico.

Habit Shrub - Hardy and Low Maintenance

Plant family Lamiaceae

Featuring prolific eye-catching bright pink blooms appear in all but the coldest months of the year I am an evergreen perennial with a tightly branched form and small mid green leaves on dark stems. My flowers can also be cut to be enjoyed indoors. My flowers attract nectar feeding birds. My foliage is lightly aromatic. Growing to less than a metre I love a bright and sunny location and have minimal water requirements once established. I happily grow in pots and other containers, a great way to brighten up paved areas and court yards. I require minimal maintenance but am fast growing. I enjoy a hard cutback in autumn and a light feed in spring for an optimal floral display and bushiness.

I am popular and will make you happy because...

My foliage is naturally bushy and pleasantly fragrant

I am suitable for cottage gardens, container plantings and most garden plantings
