It’s the dawn of a new day in the garden and ‘Pink Dawn” salvia is it! Cotton candy pink buds with a dark pink center open up to entice all the pollinators including bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. Hummingbirds are always attracted to flowers with a “throat” for them to gather nectar so this is the ideal plant for those “flying flowers”!

‘Pink Dawn’ is a perennial so place it where you can enjoy it through the years. It is a clump forming plant so it will just increase in size. Use it in the perennial bed to provide color and height since it grows 16-20 inches high and wide. Planting several would provide an incredible display. It flowers beginning in spring and continuing into summer providing blooms while you wait for others to bloom.
