Salvia 'Pink Profusion'

Salvia nemorosa 'Pink Profusion': Blush Blooms, Season-Long Show

Soft and striking all at once, Salvia 'Pink Profusion' is a vigorous rebloomer that delivers cloud after cloud of rose-pink flower spikes from late spring well into fall. A more romantic member of the Profusion series, it features the same airy habit and excellent repeat flowering as its violet-blue relatives, but in a warm, garden-brightening hue. The neatly mounded foliage is aromatic, compact, and highly attractive to bees and butterflies, making it a natural fit for pollinator-friendly borders with a lighter palette.

Plant Characteristics:

• Height: 40–50 cm
• Spread: 45–60 cm
• Flower Colour: Rosy pink
• Flowering Period: Late spring to fall (repeat blooming)
• Foliage: Deep green, aromatic, mounded
• Sunlight Requirements: Full sun
• Soil Requirements: Well-drained, average to sandy soils

Uses and Benefits: Ideal for softening borders, brightening dry gardens, and extending bloom in pollinator plantings, 'Pink Profusion' is both beautiful and practical. It shines in mixed groupings or as a stand-alone colour accent, and its long bloom period ensures steady interest. Deer resistant and drought tolerant once established, it thrives in sunny, low-maintenance designs.

Companion Plants: Pair Salvia 'Pink Profusion' with the rich red-and-yellow tones of Achillea 'Strawberry Seduction', the smouldering foliage of Panicum 'Prairie Fire', and the upright lilac-pink spires of Stachys 'Hummelo' for a vibrant, textural blend that hums with colour and life from spring into fall.

Care Instructions: Plant in full sun with well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment; mature plants tolerate dry conditions. Shear back after each bloom cycle to encourage continued flowering. Cut down fully in early spring and divide every few years to refresh growth.

History: Bred by Walters Gardens as part of the Profusion series, 'Pink Profusion' combines the proven vigour and extended bloom of its predecessors with a fresh, rosy twist. It has quickly gained popularity for its garden-friendly form and pollinator appeal.

Final Thoughts: Light, lovely, and loaded with flowers, Salvia 'Pink Profusion' brings a gentle touch and steady performance to the sunny garden. It’s a pollinator favourite that keeps the colour coming, all season long.
