Product description
Salvia Blaze of Fire is a striking and vigorous annual that brings intense scarlet-red blooms to your garden, creating a bold visual impact in borders, containers, and bedding schemes. Known for its compact, bushy habit, this Salvia variety is perfect for adding vibrant colour throughout the summer months. The bright flowers are particularly attractive to pollinators, making them not only a feast for the eyes but also beneficial for garden biodiversity. This variety is also prized for its long flowering period, ensuring your garden remains colourful well into autumn.
To get the best start, sow Salvia Blaze of Fire seeds indoors from February to April using seed trays or pots filled with a quality seed compost. Alternatively, sow directly outdoors from May once the risk of frost has passed. These plants thrive in a sunny, well-drained location, so choose a spot that gets plenty of light throughout the day. When planting out, space the seedlings 20-30cm apart to allow room for growth and airflow, which helps to prevent disease.
From June to October, enjoy the striking red flowers that this Salvia produces. Regular deadheading will encourage the plants to produce more blooms, keeping your garden looking fresh and vibrant. Ensure that the soil remains moist, especially during dry periods, and feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser every few weeks to promote healthy growth. Salvia Blaze of Fire is easy to grow and maintain, making it an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners looking to add a splash of colour to their outdoor spaces.
