Abstract

A new cultivar of Salvia plant named ‘Celebration’ that is distinguishable by its compact well-branched rounded plant habit and bi-colored foliage of ‘Celebration’ whose leaves are sage-green in color with vibrant golden yellow colored margins. The foliage of ‘Celebration’ is highly aromatic, especially when crushed, and is characteristic of the scent and flavor of the commonly used culinary herb sage. Plants of ‘Celebration’ respond to regular pruning and trimming which stimulates rapid and prolific production of desirable juvenile foliage for culinary use, and averts production of undesirable flower stems. A regularly pruned plant of ‘Celebration’ will fill out and cover the surface of a 1-quart container within 6-8 weeks of transplanting a rooted cutting. A further 4 weeks are required to fill out a 1-gallon container. Plants of ‘Celebration’ are both heat and drought tolerant when grown in containers or in the landscape.
