Salvia greggii 'Red Swing' is a stunning evergreen perennial that captivates with its compact form and strikingly vibrant red tubular flowers. This remarkable plant not only adds a splash of bold color to sunny borders and containers but also serves as a magnet for pollinators throughout an extended blooming season. Its bushy and upright growth habit makes it an excellent choice for creating architectural interest in any garden setting, ensuring that it stands out as a focal point amidst other flora.

The foliage of 'Red Swing' consists of small, aromatic dark green leaves that provide a lush backdrop to its brilliant blossoms. Blooming from late spring through autumn, the bright red flowers are not only visually appealing but also play a crucial role in attracting a variety of wildlife, including bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies. This perennial thrives in full sun, where it can showcase its flowers to their fullest potential, and it is well-suited to well-drained soils, demonstrating resilience even in poorer, drier conditions once established.

With a maximum height and spread of approximately 50 cm (20 inches), Salvia greggii 'Red Swing' is a manageable addition to any garden. It is hardy to around -5°C, although it may require some winter protection in the colder regions of the UK. For optimal health and aesthetics, light pruning after flowering is recommended to maintain its shape and promote fresh growth. This exquisite plant is perfect for those looking to enhance their outdoor spaces with vibrant color while supporting local pollinator populations, making it a truly valuable addition to any garden.

Growing Information

Live Plants

Suttons strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.

Non Standard Deliveries

What our customers say

"Very impressed with the quality of leek and broad bean seeds you sent. Excellent germination and look forward to a bumper crop. Will certainly be back."

E. Smyth

“I bought all my seeds, potatoes, etc. from your catalogue last year for my new ‘larger’ vegetable garden. I have to say I have never had such success in the garden. The germination was excellent; the quality of plant stock and produce is superb."

Sadie

“I am compelled to write to you and your staff for the exemplary service provided by your company, in an age where the word and term ‘service’ has lost its meaning.”
