Just the right size for containers or edging, this dwarf salvia is a pink-flowering cousin to the ever-popular MARCUS™.
Bright rose pink flowers are borne on short, upright spikes above the green, mounded foliage in early through midsummer. If deadheaded, the plants may continue to bloom through late summer.
'Sensation Rose' was selected by the breeder for its compact habit, beautiful pink flower color, and its remarkable vigor.

Salvia is easy to grow in almost any climate. Though it is drought tolerant, it will bloom better with regular watering. Deadheading encourages a longer bloom time. If plants get leggy during the season, cut them all the way back to the newly developed foliage. If cut back, plants may rebloom in fall but often the flowers are fewer and smaller.
