Salvia

There's great variety amongst the Salvias. Some can be used in formal bedding schemes, others are at home in an informal cottage garden. There's also a great diversity of sizes. Some can reach 2m tall.

The flowers generally have a subtle charm, but they are much more suitable for our climate than many of the other perennials we might read about in gardening books, especially if you're trying to create a cottage garden style.

Nurseries supplying Salvia to Qld

Regular garden centres will probably have a selection of Salvias for sale. Herb nurseries might also have a some unusual Salvia species offer.

Gardeners seeking a greater range or collectors wishing to buy rare species etc. may want to find a specialist salvia supplier.

Sorry, no listings at present

This section is intended for salvia nurseries or nurseries which might be considered salvia specialists. If you operate such a nursery (including online and mail order nurseries) please get in touch for information about advertising on this site.
