Salvia
'Amoer'
Ornamental sage
Salmon pink with a beautiful warmth, Salvia 'Amoer' brings an irresistible touch of summer colour to the garden. Its charming, two-lipped flowers open in delicate shades of coral pink and soft apricot, creating a wonderfully luminous display against fresh green foliage. Deep burgundy-purple calyces provide a striking contrast, making the pastel-coloured blooms appear even more vibrant. The flowers are arranged along slender, branching stems, creating an airy, informal effect despite their abundance. As the season progresses, fresh blooms continue to appear, attracting visiting bees and bringing movement to the border. Salvia 'Amoer' looks particularly beautiful alongside lavender-blue nepeta, creamy cosmos and softly waving ornamental grasses, where its warm colouring creates a gentle but captivating contrast.
Part of the delightful Magical series, Salvia 'Amoer' has been selected for its compact, well-branched habit and exceptionally generous flowering performance. Growing to approximately 50–60cm tall, it forms a bushy mound of aromatic foliage, making it ideal for sunny borders, gravel gardens and generous patio containers. From late spring into autumn, Salvia 'Amoer' produces a continuous succession of flowers, especially when faded stems are trimmed regularly. Plant in fertile, well-drained soil, choosing a warm position in full sun and avoiding excessive winter moisture. Once established, it also copes well with periods of summer heat and dryness. With its glowing peach-pink flowers and beautifully balanced growth, Salvia 'Amoer' brings months of effortless colour and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere to the garden.

Plant calendar
Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
