alvia Pink Amistad is an exceptional and eye-catching variety that has quickly gained recognition among garden enthusiasts. Introduced in 2022, this beautiful perennial made a remarkable impression at the BBC Chelsea Flower Show, securing third place in the RHS Chelsea Flower Show ‘Plant of the Year 2022’ competition. The entry was expertly presented by John, our Managing Director at Middleton Nurseries, showcasing its unique charm and appeal.
Salvia Pink Amistad is the result of expert crossbreeding between Salvia guarantica and Salvia orbingnaei, producing a spectacular plant with large, upright stems adorned with vibrant pink, two-lipped flowers. Unlike the traditional Salvia Amistad, which is known for its deep purple blooms, this variety introduces a refreshing splash of pink, adding a touch of elegance and softness to any garden setting.
Its compact growth habit makes it an excellent choice for borders, flower beds, and patio pots, offering versatility in garden design. Additionally, this variety is hardier than the original Amistad, meaning it can withstand cooler temperatures better. However, in extremely cold conditions, some winter protection may be necessary to ensure its longevity.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, Salvia Pink Amistad is a fantastic plant for wildlife-friendly gardens. Its nectar-rich flowers act as a magnet for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, helping to support biodiversity while bringing your garden to life with movement and color. If you’re looking to create a pollinator-friendly space, this variety is a must-have.
This outstanding cultivar is the result of breeding efforts by renowned Salvia specialist Rolando Uria, who has developed some of the finest Salvia varieties available today. His dedication to innovative breeding techniques has resulted in a plant that is not only visually stunning but also robust, easy to grow, and highly adaptable.
