| The Salvia 'Heatwave'series was introduced as a direct response to the current hot and dry climate that faces many Australian gardeners. Salvias have a great reputation as a waterwise family that thrive in sunshine and dry, open soils.
This series is a compact range, in comaprison to many other Salvias that have a tendency to spead and become leggy. The tighter foliage of the Heatwave series allows them to feature more prominently in the garden, providing colour right throughout the warmer months.
The evergreen, aromatic foliage is also a welcome addition to the garden.
The Salvia 'Heatwave' collection currently includes 5 varieties.

| • Container displays for lengthy colour • Small gardens, patios and courtyards • Water wise garden designs • Ideal for mixed borders • Suitable for coastal regions and poolside planting • Bird attracting |
| Low watering requirements. Once established, these are very dry tolerant requiring only occasional deep watering during extended periods of heat. Select a sunny location in most soil types which are free draining. Feed in spring with a general purpose fertiliser for best results. After a main lowering flush trim the plant by half to encourage further flowering and a denser habit.
