Salvia africana-lutea
Salvia africana-lutea
PSAAFL
Standard texts say that this salvia will flower from spring to the first frosts but ours at Heronswood seems to keep flowering all year. Striking rust-brown flowers emerge from soft yellow buds, which provide a contrast to the small aromatic grey-green leaves. This dense evergreen shrub clips well, suitable for a screen, hedge or feature in a full sun position. Like other African salvias, this one is dry and frost tolerant and deserves a place in any dry garden. Attractive to bees and other pollinators.
