Large light pink spires of oversized flower buds bloom half a month before others. In nature it is the earliest flowering Salvia. Bloom time is longer than for other Salvia as well, from spring to late summer with a re-bloom in autumn. Unique filigree-style foliage is scented and gives the plant an airy, elegant appearance, perfect for the border, balcony pots, or mass planting. First year blooming.
