Salvia x superba ‘Rubin’

This is one of the best new plants we have in our dry garden with all the virtues of the nemorosa salvias but with a startlingly different flower colour. Stiff leafy spikes of bright magenta rose flowers are in bloom from spring onwards. If spent flower stems are cut to the ground during summer a second flush of flowers is produced in the autumn. It’s been growing in a sunny spot in the dry garden for the past few years and it has performed very well. 50cm x 40cm.
