Salvia Heatwave Inferno 14cm

Salvia 'Heatwave Inferno' is the perfect perennial for Australian gardens. It's highly attractive to pollinators, enticing beneficial birds and insects to the garden for months on end, waterwise and drought tolerant, ensuring it survives even the toughest Australian summers without taking up valuable water, and grows vigorously, offering rapid results.

Its long-flowering habit means you can enjoy brilliant red blooms for extended periods, especially in mixed borders with companion plants flowering at the same time. Some of our favourite pairings are with 'Stella Bella,' a delightful daylily, and 'Autumn Joy,' an excellent sedum succulent. It also looks great with other plants from the 'Heatwave' line, like 'Heatwave Blaze.' It can also be grown in containers and floral garden beds, offering eye-catching colour perfect for displays and statement plantings.

'Heatwave Inferno's fast-growing and waterwise nature, in combination with its exceptional colour and blooms, makes it a top pick for new projects in the garden - it establishes rapidly, boosts biodiversity, and is guaranteed to last.

Plant in well-draining soil, prune after main flowering, and apply slow-release fertiliser in spring (we highly recommend B-Green Organic Slow Release) for best results.
