Salvia ‘Love and Wishes’, entered by Wyevale Nurseries, won the Best Plant Introduction (Nursery Stock) Award at the Four Oaks Trade Show this week.

The variety has deep purple flowers with deep burgundy calyces, dark green foliage and dark stems. It has a very long flowering time – June through to November – and makes an impressive potted specimen.

The awards were judged by Garden Centre Association chief executive Iain Wylie and trade journalists Sally Drury and Kate Lowe.

The award was presented to Wyevale Nurseries at a reception attended by more than 200 exhibitors.
