Salvia, an untiring flower
Salvia Hot Lips is a new species that grows much looser than most other Salvia species. Salvia 'Hot Lips' proves to be a striking showpiece in your perennial bed. The flowers are bicoloured and bloom from June to October. In early April you can cut them back to 20-30 cm. Make sure that there are still cuttings and leaves under the cut. The plant will then grow considerably. To keep the Salvia compact, you can cut the shoots back by half in early July. After a few weeks you will have a large bunch of flowers again.
Variable colours Salvia Hot Lips
The flowers are red at first and only later turn white at the tip. The number of colours changes under the influence of temperature. In summer, when the nights are warm, the flowers are almost completely red. When the weather gets cooler, they become more white.
