Few flowers are quite as essential as the Salvia, a plant of the moment which is as low maintenance as it is high performing. It takes just a little care to keep these ocean deep blues, rich purples and eye-catching reds flourishing well into the autumn months.

Not only are colourful varieties like Jezebel and Amistad also edible, but they’re an indomitable blackspot deterrent and great for cutting. Sarah & Arthur take a look at this must-have family of long-blooming flowers in this week’s ‘grow, cook, eat, arrange’, and serve up a spectacular recipe for butternut squash.

In this episode, discover:

• The new, exciting, and vigorous varieties of Salvia that are ideal for pots
• Particularly useful Salvias for companion planting with Roses to battle blackspot 
• How to take Salvia cuttings to grow youthful, vigorous plants, ready for when your current flowers start to wane
• Making the most of sage at its best this time of year in an incredible recipe for butternut squash
