This compact, bushy perennial produces dense spikes of rose-pink flowers set against purple calyces from early summer to autumn, creating vibrant vertical interest. Its grey-green, aromatic foliage forms a neat clump, making it ideal for sunny borders, patio containers, or cottage gardens.
Salvia nemorosa 'Sensation Rose' is low maintenance once established and thrives in well-drained soil, perfect for beginners or busy gardeners. It works well in city courtyards or informal planting schemes, and its long flowering period ensures months of colour.
This versatile perennial also attracts bees and other pollinating insects, adding biodiversity to your garden.

When planting, incorporate compost to improve drainage and fertility, spacing plants 30-45cm (12-18in) apart and watering thoroughly.
To keep the plant blooming throughout the season, promptly remove flower spikes as soon as they begin to fade - this deadheading encourages the plant to produce more flowers rather than putting energy into seed production.
In early spring, apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and provide essential nutrients as it breaks down. Ensure the mulch is spread evenly, but keep it away from the stems to prevent rot.
Regular watering, particularly in dry spells, will help maintain healthy growth, but be careful not to waterlog the soil, as this salvia prefers well-drained conditions.
