Description
Salvia Caradonna Pink Inspiration is the pink-flowering sister of the much-loved Salvia Caradonna, combining large, soft pink flower spikes with striking purple flowering stems. Blooming from June to late July and producing a second flush of flowers in September after pruning, it brings long-lasting color to the garden while attracting bees and butterflies throughout the season.
Its upright, mounding habit creates a neat, architectural look in borders and containers with very little maintenance. Caradonna Pink Inspiration performs well in mass plantings, pollinator gardens, cottage gardens and mixed perennial borders. Heat, humidity and drought tolerant once established, as well as winter hardy, it is a reliable performer in a wide range of climates and has been recognised with the RHS Award of Garden Merit and as an RHS Plants for Pollinators variety.
