“Salvia ‘Salgoon Lake Flamingo’ is a stunning perennial that adds vibrant color and fragrance to British gardens with its compact size and striking pink flowers. Growing to a height of 45-60cm, it forms a bushy mound of aromatic, gray-green leaves that complement the abundant spikes of tubular pink flowers. These blooms appear from early summer to autumn, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators with their rich nectar.

Best planted in full sun and well-drained soil, ‘Salgoon Lake Flamingo’ thrives in borders, rockeries, or containers, where its eye-catching flowers can be prominently displayed. It is tolerant of drought once established but benefits from occasional watering during prolonged dry spells.

Maintenance for ‘Salgoon Lake Flamingo’ is minimal; deadhead spent flowers regularly throughout the blooming season to encourage continuous flowering. Pruning to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged stems should be done in early spring. Feeding with a balanced fertilizer in spring supports healthy growth and enhances flower production.

Beyond its visual appeal, Salvia ‘Salgoon Lake Flamingo’ serves as a vital food source for bees and other pollinators, contributing to pollination efforts and enhancing biodiversity in garden landscapes across the UK. Its adaptability and ecological benefits make it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.”
