Buy Salvia Plants At Nature Hills Nursery!

Salvia PlantsLovely long-blooming Salvia, also known as Perennial Sage, are prolific flowering upright plants that are drought and deer-tolerant members of the Mint Family! 

The Salvia Genus is a large group of plants of nearly 500 species that are native to Mexico and South America. Salvia species include a wide range of annual, biennial, and perennial plants. Many Perennial Salvia plants have fragrant foliage and lend a distinctive but pleasant odor to the garden!

The blossoms are in flowering spires full of two-part lipped petals that are nectar and pollen-rich resources for a wide variety of pollinators! They also look fantastic as vertical texture in the landscape and floral bouquets!

Salvia attracts butterflies and Hummingbirds and is versatile enough to be used in beds, borders, ground covers, planters, and for naturalizing en masse!

Caring For Salvia Plants

Salvia plants and Perennials bloom best in full sun to partial shade and these Mediterranean plants are xeric and need very well-drained moderately moist soils. Plant Salvia in areas with good air circulation to help prevent mold forming on the foliage.

Once established, Salvia is a very low-maintenance plant! Very pest and disease-resistant, Salvia is also seldom bothered by deer or rabbits due to their aromatic foliage and flowers!

Deadhead your plants as soon as flowers fade and often you'll enjoy a new flush of flowers! If pruning is needed for perennial Sages, do so in the spring. Annual bedding Salvia that is used for seasonal color typically dies back in the cold winters and should be removed in the fall once frost kills the foliage and stems.

FAQS for Buying Salvia Online

What are Salvia plants and why are they popular in home gardens?

Salvia plants, also known as Perennial Sage, are beloved for their long-lasting blooms, fragrant foliage, and pollinator-friendly flowers. As hardy members of the Mint family, Salvias offer drought tolerance, deer resistance, and brilliant color for borders, containers, and cut flower gardens.

Which types of Salvia are best for attracting pollinators like hummingbirds and butterflies?

Varieties such as May Night Salvia, Bumbleberry Salvia, and Pineapple Sage are especially attractive to pollinators thanks to their vibrant spiked blooms and nectar-rich flowers. These plants serve as reliable magnets for butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds throughout the summer and fall.

Do Salvia plants grow well in containers or small garden spaces?

Yes, many Salvia cultivars thrive in pots and planters, making them perfect for patios, balconies, and small garden beds. Their upright form and vivid flowers provide striking vertical interest, especially when used as container "thrillers" in mixed arrangements.

How do I care for Salvia plants to encourage more blooms?

Salvia prefers full sun and well-drained soil with moderate watering. Deadheading spent flowers will promote reblooming, and pruning in early spring keeps perennial types tidy and vigorous. These plants are low-maintenance and thrive with minimal effort once established.

Are all Salvia plants perennial, or do some act as annuals?

Not all Salvia plants are perennial; some types, especially bedding Salvias, are annuals or biennials in colder climates. In warmer USDA zones, many perennial Salvias behave like woody shrubs, delivering color and structure year after year. Always check the variety’s hardiness zone before planting.
