Description
Salvia White (Salvia chamelaeagnea) is a beautiful South African indigenous shrub that produces masses of elegant white flowers from spring through summer. Its aromatic grey-green foliage contrasts beautifully with the blooms, making it a standout in indigenous, fynbos and water-wise gardens.
This hardy, drought-tolerant salvia thrives in full sun and attracts bees, butterflies and sunbirds, bringing colour and wildlife into the garden. Perfect for mixed borders, cottage gardens and natural landscapes, it is an easy-care plant that flowers generously year after year.
