Product description
A compact but hardy and highly versatile variety. The Salvia ‘Feathers Flamingo’ is a lovely sage plant with scented, deeply cut leaves of dark green. The clumping foliage sits beneath upright spires of tiny pink flowers with a cup-shape. The blooms appear in the early to mid-Summer months and have a long flowering period lasting into the Autumn, with occasional second flowerings during this period.
Plant in humus-rich, moist, well-drained soils and keep in full sun. Tolerates partial sun but upright stems will wilt and droop when under too much shade. Prefers light, sandy or gravelly soils. Drought tolerant once established.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may, therefore, differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. This plant will be supplied in a grower’s pot.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

How to Water
Water Salvia deeply when the soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure the soil is well-drained to prevent waterlogging. Once established, Salvia is drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional watering during hot, dry periods.
How to Plant
Plant Salvia in a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and position the plant. Fill in the hole with soil and water well. Space plants 30-45cm apart, depending on the variety.
