Parentage: a proprietary Salvia x hybrida breeding selection as female parent and one of several proprietary Salvia nemorosa breeding selections as male (pollen) parent. This new cultivar was discovered and selected as a single flowering plant within the progeny, distinguished by rose-colored flowers and medium green colored foliage with a vigorous, upright and mounded habit. U.S. Plant Patent #24,274 was issued in February, 2014. |
| Lore | The genus name Salvia comes from the Latin word salveo meaning to save or heal, in reference to the curative properties attributed to some plants in this genus. The hybrid name of sylvestris comes from Latin meaning of or pertaining to forest or wood. |
