Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Salvia are herbaceous perennials that need the full sun to bloom their very best! Grow Salvia in well-drained soil that has moderate, regular moisture their first year, and after they are established can be drought tolerant and xeric! Deadhead often as flowers fade to keep more blooms returning from spring to late summer. Then, in the late autumn, trim back the mounds of foliage when they die back for a clean look.
