Salvia 'Wendy's Wish' is a remarkable perennial that captivates with its compact growth and vigorous nature, making it a standout choice for any garden enthusiast. This exquisite plant is adorned with striking deep red flowers that bloom profusely from late spring through autumn, creating a stunning display of color that enlivens sunny borders and containers alike. Its vibrant blossoms not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your outdoor spaces but also serve as a magnet for pollinators, inviting bees, butterflies, and even hummingbirds to partake in its beauty.
The growth habit of 'Wendy's Wish' is characterized by a bushy and upright form, complemented by aromatic dark green leaves that feature a subtly textured surface. This semi-evergreen foliage thrives in mild UK climates, providing year-round interest and a lush backdrop for the brilliant flowers. Preferring full sun, this salvia flourishes in well-drained soil, demonstrating remarkable adaptability as it tolerates a range of soil types, from moderately fertile to poorer conditions once established. Its moderate watering needs and drought tolerance further enhance its appeal, making it a low-maintenance yet visually striking addition to any garden.
With an ultimate height of approximately 60 cm (24 inches) and a spread of 50 cm (20 inches), Salvia 'Wendy's Wish' is perfectly suited for borders, containers, and wildlife-friendly gardens. To ensure its continued vibrancy, regular maintenance is recommended, including deadheading to extend the flowering period and light pruning after blooming to maintain its compact form. While this hardy plant can withstand temperatures down to around -5°C, it may require winter protection in colder regions of the UK. Embrace the allure of 'Wendy's Wish' and transform your garden into a sanctuary of color and life, where nature's pollinators can thrive amidst its enchanting blooms.

Thompson & Morgan strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3
