Description

This shrub will grow 1'-4' tall and 1'-4' wide. It has glossy green, small, aromatic leaves with rose pink flowers that bloom from fall to spring. 'Rose Pink' prefers well draining soil in areas with low humidity and heat. It will do well with afternoon shade in warm inland valleys. Prune very lightly to encourage more blooming. It needs a medium amount of watering and more in hot summer areas. Salvia attracts hummingbirds and butterflies.
