Plant description
These showy little plants make great gap-fillers for the front of a sunny border, and can also be used to liven up the display on the patio. Flowering over a long period (and in profusion), they look stunning when teamed up with strong blues and purples, but can also be tempered with a backdrop of silver foliage.

How to care for Salvia greggii Mirage Hot Pink ('Balmirhopi') (Mirage Series):
To prolong flowering remove the flower spikes as soon as they start to fade. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant in spring.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
