How to Grow and Care for Salvia

  • Sunlight: Thrives in full sun, needing at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily for the best blooms.
  • Soil: Prefers well-drained soil but is tolerant of poor, sandy, or rocky soils.
    Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season; once established, most Salvia varieties are drought-tolerant.
  • Maintenance: Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and cut back stems in late fall or early spring to promote healthy new growth. Divide plants every few years to maintain vigor.

Salvia offers a perfect combination of beauty, durability, and pollinator appeal. Its upright blooms pair beautifully with other perennials like Echinacea, Rudbeckia, and Coreopsis, creating dynamic and colorful garden displays.
