Salvia 'Caramia'
- Compact and utterly charming, that's what this salvia is. 'Caramia' oozes bucketloads of character, its upright flower spikes making an impact wherever they're found.
- The blooms are borne on elegant vertical racemes up to 40cm in height, making this variety the ideal choice for mid-borders (or even the front of taller borders).
- Fully hardy, this plant is practically bomb-proof and will withstand whatever even the harshest of British winters can throw its way.
- Salvias such as this one are on the RHS's Plants for Pollinators list, given the appeal of their flowers to pollinating insects like bees and butterflies.
