Salvia × jamensis 'Royal Bumble'
Bold, floriferous variety with striking, deep crimson-red flowers held on near-black stems, creating a rich contrast that stands out in any border. Flowering from early summer through to the first frosts, it delivers months of vibrant colour and is a magnet for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
Unlike many other salvias, 'Royal Bumble' has proven to be one of the hardier selections us here in West Lothian, even through colder winters when given a sunny, sheltered position with good drainage. It forms a compact, bushy shape and responds well to a spring trim.
Low-maintenance, long-flowering, and wonderfully vivid — ideal for adding drama to mixed borders or containers.
Sold Currently in 9cm pots.
Height & Spread: 60–75cm x 50cm
Position: Full sun, sheltered
Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil
Flowering Time: June to October
