WENDYS WISH SAGE
Salvia 'Wendy's Wish' is a spectacular, fast-growing hybrid that has become a favorite for its unique color and architectural presence. It produces large, tubular, vibrant magenta-pink flowers that emerge from dark, maroon-colored calyxes, creating a sophisticated and bold display. Growing to a mature size of approximately 3 - 4 feet tall and wide, it features a dense, shrub-like habit with glossy, dark green foliage and distinctive maroon stems. Its continuous blooming cycle from late spring until the first frost makes it a top-tier choice for high-impact "thriller" components in large patio containers or as a focal point in the back of the landscape border.
For optimal performance, Salvia 'Wendy's Wish' should be planted in a location that receives full sun, though it can appreciate light afternoon shade in regions with intense summer heat. It thrives in rich, well-drained soil and requires regular moisture - typically about once a week - to maintain its lush appearance and prolific flower production. While it is notably heat-tolerant, 'Wendy's Wish' is a tender perennial hardy in USDA Zones 9-11, so in Ohio, it should be treated as a vigorous annual. To maintain a tidy shape and promote even more branching, you can lightly pinch the stems back throughout the growing season. Its nectar-rich blooms are a legendary magnet for hummingbirds, ensuring a "parade" of activity in the garden all season long.
