Salvia Pink Velour
Salvia Pink Velour

A hybrid cultivar of the Mexican Sage, Salvia leucantha ‘Pink Velour’ lives up to its name with soft pink flowers with a white calyx.

This is a hardy, well behaved low growing salvia. It reaches around 80cm in height, and forms a small clump over time.

It is the soft pink flowers that appear from spring through to autumn that are the attraction.

The flowers appear as terminal spikes on tall stems. If you can plant Salvia ‘Pink Velour’ against a darker foliage background they will seem to glow.

Pruning Salvia leucantha ‘Pink Velour’

It is a very easy plant to prune, simply deadhead after flowering and it will reliably send up new shoots and flowers.
It will generally send up new shoots from ground level, so you can prune back harder if you wish. At the end of the season cut back to the basal foliage ( ground level foliage).

Mid pink flowers with that touch of white and a velvety velour texture make this a standout salvia.

Propagation

As clumps get larger you may wish to divide them. All Salvia leucantha varieties can be propagated from cuttings or by division.
