Salvia
'Delice Gold and Wine'
sage
Salvia 'Delice Gold and Wine' is a compact, colour-rich sage with a deliciously soft yet vibrant palette. Its rosy-pink flowers are touched with the palest pink, creating a layered, glowing effect that feels fresh, pretty and just a little bit decadent. The blooms have that easy, airy quality salvias do so well, lifting the border without making a fuss. Salvia 'Delice Gold and Wine' is ideal for bringing warmth and movement to sunny planting schemes, where its elegant flower spikes can weave among perennials, grasses and silver foliage.
Give Salvia 'Delice Gold and Wine' a bright, sheltered position in well-drained soil and it will reward you with a generous display through the warmer months. As a sage, it is naturally well suited to relaxed, wildlife-friendly borders, and its nectar-rich flowers are likely to be noticed by passing pollinators. Pair Salvia 'Delice Gold and Wine' with nepeta, lavender, gaura or soft ornamental grasses for a dreamy, sun-washed combination. In containers, it brings a refined splash of colour to patios and terraces. Graceful, cheerful and wonderfully easy to place, Salvia microphylla 'Delice Gold and Wine' has all the makings of a summer favourite.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
