This gorgeous beauty is a new for the 2019 season by Flowers By The Sea. It is a hybrid between Salvia orbignaei x Salvia haenkei. I love the bright pink color! Attracts hummingbirds!

We describe it as Salvia x westerae on our website. The clone we have is the result of several generations of breeding and selection for plant habit, flower size and color and early onset to flowering.

The flowers are about 2 inches long.
