Salvia Bonfire

Salvia Bonfire is the kind of plant that instantly transforms a garden space. With its upright spikes of vibrant scarlet red blooms and dense, bushy habit, it brings a burst of bold colour that’s impossible to overlook. Reaching around 50cm in height, this variety offers strong vertical interest without overwhelming smaller planting schemes. Whether you’re after a striking feature or a touch of drama, Bonfire delivers on both.

Its compact size makes it versatile and easy to tuck into garden beds, borders, or large containers. Even more impressive is how well it handles heat and sun, thriving where others might fade. Plus, the long flowering period ensures you’ll enjoy its colour show from early summer right through to the cooler months.

Beyond aesthetics, this Salvia variety is a magnet for pollinators—bees and butterflies can’t resist those nectar-rich blooms. So, it not only looks good but supports the local ecosystem too. If you’re seeking low-maintenance vibrancy with high impact, this fiery favourite is a must.

Usage
Salvia Bonfire works beautifully in sunny borders, clustered in mass plantings or spotlighted in large patio pots. It’s also a bold choice for adding late-season interest alongside softer pastels. Combine it with silvers or purples for a balanced, high-contrast display that stands out.
