Product Description

Salvia Greggii Nachtvlinder in 1.5-2L Pot, Bee Friendly, Mint Blackcurrant Fragrance

 

*Salvia* 'Nachtvlinder' is best positioned along pathways or near seating areas, where its aromatic foliage—characterised by a distinctive mint and blackcurrant fragrance—can be fully appreciated when brushed against. From June until the first frosts, the plant produces velvety, dark plum-purple blooms with a rich, red-purple sheen, held on sturdy, wiry stems.

The cultivar name, Dutch for "night moth," reflects its value as a pollinator-friendly plant; the flowers frequently attract a variety of pollinators, most notably bees. *Salvia* 'Nachtvlinder' thrives in well-drained soil under full sun or partial shade, eventually reaching a height of 75cm with a spread of 50cm. Rated as hardy (H5), this shrub can withstand temperatures as low as -15°C in well-drained conditions. It is suitable for year-round outdoor cultivation, requiring winter protection only during periods of extreme weather.
