Botanical Name: Salvia microphylla ‘Angels Wings’

Salvia microphylla ‘Angels Wings’ is a medium growing perennial reaching 80cm high and wide. It has dark green slightly rounded, but still elliptical shaped leaves and a typical ‘microphylla’ appearance. The flowers are a delicate two toned pink reminiscent of a pretty little girls dress. The pink blush on the lowers lobes looks like it has just been softly brushed on to the pale background in a random fashion. The stems darken towards the top and the calyces darken to a brownish pink tone. The flowering period is from spring to winter.

Salvia ‘Angels Wings’ is an Australian hybrid from Queensland. Although it is from Salvia microphylla, sometimes it is labelled as Salvia jamensis. It is a good performer in the garden and is both drought and frost hardy. Pruning may take place after flowering and take the form of a gentle tidy up or the removal of half of the height. It will do well in full sun to part shade, with well drained soils and average water supply.

The salvia family has over 900 members with an extensive history as culinary, medicinal and ornamental plants. Ornamental salvias have become collectors items, as gardeners try to find a place in their garden for each and every one. There are salvias that will suit every type of soil and climate. More information on the Salvia genus and Common Sage (Salvia officinalis) may be found on our Common Sage page.
