I purchased this Salvia from Flowers by the Sea early in summer. It is one of a few I did not originally plant in the best location. It wasn't getting enough sun. Since I moved it to a sunnier location it has been thriving. The leaves are beautifully textured and the blooms are quite large. Pink is not really one of my favorite colors, but these pink blooms are beautiful with great color saturation. I would describe them as a "rich creamy pink." Mine did not get near the stated height or width, but I believe it easily would have if I had planted it earlier and in the better location. This beauty definitely needs full sun. I plan to grow it again.
