Salvia Caradonna Pink Inspiration

10 August 2020,

This is a pink version of ‘Caradonna’ which produces spikes of pink flowers that contrast dramatically with its black-purple stems.

Salvia Caradonna has been one of the top selling garden plants for the past few years and a firm favour in the Chelsea Flower show gardens planting. Fairweather's is happy to add a pink version to sit alongside it.

Found in the UK, it has the same habit and striking features as Salvia Caradonna but is a Pink form.
