Closely related to the much sought-after 'Hot Lips’, ‘Amethyst Lips’ can produce an abundance of eye-catching, bicoloured (sometimes solid) purple and white blooms throughout the summer.

A great performer in mixed or herbaceous borders, it will also flourish in pots and containers.
How to care for Salvia Amethyst Lips ('Dyspurp') (PBR):
When planting, choose a suitable location that is not prone to waterlogging.To prolong flowering remove the flower spikes as soon as they start to fade. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant in spring. Protect from excessive cold, we recommend using a double layer of horticultural fleece and a thick mulch over the roots.
