Overview

Rich magenta-pink-red flowers on strong, upright stems provide long-lasting colour from summer into autumn, making this cultivated variety ideal for pots, borders, and window boxes. Compact and bushy in habit, plants stay manageable in size while still producing an impressive display of blooms.

Salvia 'Strawberry Lake' forms neat clumps of glossy, dark green foliage that set off the vibrant flower spikes. Part of the Lake series, it offers the tubular flower shape and long season associated with larger salvias, but at a more compact height. Slightly softer in tone than 'Lake Garda', it is also a little hardier, though winter protection is still recommended in colder regions.

Perfect for pollinator-friendly planting, it attracts bees and butterflies while thriving in full sun and well-drained soil. This versatile perennial is a reliable choice for extending colour in small gardens, patios, and seasonal pot displays.

Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and

Care guide

When planting, incorporate compost to improve drainage and fertility, spacing plants 30-45cm (12-18in) apart and watering thoroughly.

To keep the plant blooming throughout the season, promptly remove flower spikes as soon as they begin to fade - this deadheading encourages the plant to produce more flowers rather than putting energy into seed production.

In early spring, apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and provide essential nutrients as it breaks down. Ensure the mulch is spread evenly, but keep it away from the stems to prevent rot.

Regular watering, particularly in dry spells, will help maintain healthy growth, but be careful not to waterlog the soil, as this salvia prefers well-drained conditions.
