Salvia Wendys Wish - 14cm Pot

Salvia ‘Wendy’s Wish’ is one of Australia’s most loved salvias, celebrated for its vibrant magenta flowers and exceptionally long flowering season. Discovered in Victoria, this standout variety has become a favourite for gardeners wanting reliable colour with minimal effort.

Flowering for much of the year, especially through the warmer months, it produces tubular blooms with a colourful calyx that lingers after the petals drop, extending its display even further. The flowers sit beautifully against lush mid-green foliage and rich maroon stems, creating a bold and eye-catching contrast.

Fast-growing and versatile, Wendy’s Wish is perfect for mass planting, borders, containers and general garden use, delivering quick impact in both new and established landscapes.

Mature size: approximately 80cm high × 80cm wide

Care & Growing Tips
Plant in full sun to part shade in well-drained soil. While adaptable to most soil types, it performs best in fertile, free-draining conditions.

Water regularly while establishing, then reduce, as it becomes drought tolerant once mature. Occasional deep watering during extended heat will keep it thriving.

Trim back by around one-third after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage dense, bushy growth.

Apply a slow-release fertiliser in spring to support ongoing flowering and plant health.

Ideal for
– Mass planting and colourful drifts
– Mixed borders and cottage gardens
– Pots and large containers
– Waterwise and low-maintenance gardens
– Long-season colour and pollinator attraction
