​Salvia ‘Hot Lips’ – Potted (9cm)

Description

​Salvia microphylla ‘Hot Lips’ is a compact, bushy perennial known for its distinctive bicolored flowers and aromatic foliage. Blooming profusely from late spring through fall, the tubular flowers typically display a striking combination of red and white, though coloration can vary with temperature and growing conditions. The small, ovate leaves are mid-green with a slightly serrated edge and emit a pleasant herbal fragrance when touched. Mature plants generally reach a height and spread of 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm), forming a neat, rounded shape. ‘Hot Lips’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, demonstrating excellent drought tolerance once established. Hardy in USDA zones 8 through 10, this variety is also deer-resistant and attracts pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.

Sold well-rooted in a tall 9cm pot.
