Plant of the Day
Friday 1 October 2021
This autumn flowering Salvia uliginosa (bog sage) looked great contrasting with the carved louvred oak wall of this Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show garden, in London. This perennial comes from the damp watercourses of South America, it requires a warm sunny site, but a soil that does not dry out. The crown of the plant will need a mulch over winter to help add protection in cooler areas.
