Salvia Melba Magic® ‘Peach Melba’

22 January 2026

Salvia Melba Magic® ‘Peach Melba’

Launched in 2025, Salvia ‘Peach Melba’ has already proved it’s no ordinary introduction. At the Chelsea Flower Show it powered into the top 20 plants selected from a huge field of entries, finishing an impressive fourth place and outperforming many highly regarded contenders. This momentum continued at the HTA Trade Show in June 2025, where it secured a Gold Award in its category, confirming its quality, impact and commercial appeal.

While it may not have taken the official 'best new plant title' at Four Oaks in September 2025, what happened next speaks volumes. Salvia ‘Peach Melba’ won Best New Plant as voted for by show visitors – the people who matter most! Quite simply, they voted with their feet. That public endorsement says everything: this is a plant that captures attention, wins hearts and performs on the bench.

A proven crowd-pleaser, Salvia ‘Peach Melba’ is a genuine winner and a must-have plant to stock for 2026.
