Salvia 'Wendy's Wish' - Wendy's Wish Sage

Salvia 'Wendy’s Wish' is a chance seedling selection found within in a Salvia enthusiast’s garden in Victoria, Australia. It is the discovers' “wish” that a portion of the finder’s royalties be distributed to charity in Australia - hence the name.

Although it appeared beneath S. mexicana 'Lolly' the corolla appears to resemble S. buchananii in color and flower size, but the calyx somewhat resembles some Salvia splendens varieties, being a pinkish brown. Stems are dark maroon, giving a great overall effect to a clump. It flowers for a long season through spring, summer, and autumn. We have to pinch it in the pot to keep it from blooming!

We were one of the first nurseries in the US to license this plant for propagation, and have been growing it since May 2010.
