Salvia 'Delice Aquamarine'
Salvia 'Delice Aquamarine' is a captivating cultivar that adds a splash of cool, refreshing colour to the garden. This compact perennial sage typically grows to a height of 40-50 cm, forming a neat, bushy habit that makes it ideal for borders, containers, and mass plantings. Its soft green foliage provides an attractive backdrop for the striking floral display.
From early summer through to autumn, 'Delice Aquamarine' produces an abundance of elegant flowers, in a unique pale aquamarine blue colour, a rare and sought-after shade in the garden palette.
