Salvia 'Pink Amistad'

Plant Salvia 'Pink Amistad' in full sun to light shade in moist, well-drained soil. Regular watering is essential during dry periods, especially in the first year, to help the plant establish. Deadheading spent blooms encourages continuous flowering and maintains a tidy appearance. Feed with a general-purpose fertilizer in spring, and cut back stems to ground level in late autumn or early spring to promote fresh growth. Mulching helps protect the roots in colder climates.

Pink Amistad is an excellent choice for adding height and soft color to mixed borders, where its upright flower spikes can stand out among low-growing perennials. Pair it with ornamental grasses or contrasting flowers such as lavender, echinacea, or white gaura for a dynamic and eye-catching display. It also thrives in large containers, where its blooms can be enjoyed up close on patios and terraces.

Long flowering period from midsummer to autumn.

Pollinator-friendly; attracts bees and butterflies.

Not fully frost-hardy; provide winter protection in cooler regions.

Pet-safe but best kept out of reach to avoid accidental nibbling.
