Salvia ‘Hot Lips’ is a striking, bi-colour perennial known for its playful and eye-catching blooms. Throughout the warmer months, it produces masses of vibrant red-and-white flowers, each with a distinctive “lip” shape that gives this variety its charming name. As temperatures shift, the flowers may appear pure red, pure white, or a mix of both, creating a constantly changing display that brings life and colour to the garden.

This salvia is exceptionally tough, thriving in full sun and performing reliably in heat, drought and poor soils. The neat, bushy plant carries fresh green aromatic foliage, which is naturally resistant to pests and adored by bees, butterflies and hummingbirds.

Perfect for borders, mixed beds, cottage gardens and pots, Salvia ‘Hot Lips’ offers long flowering, low maintenance and year-round interest with its cheerful, ever-shifting blooms.
