#ProPlantTips for Care:
Tolerating the sun and a wide range of conditions, these are tough, hardy, native perennials! Loving the full sun, Perennial Salvia thrives in the heat, also able to handle some afternoon shade, especially in hotter climates.
Thriving in all types of soil, Salvia does best in average garden soil that is well-drained and enriched with organic matter. Adding Nature Hills Root Booster during planting provides life-long support, and 3-4 inches of arborist mulch around your plants, especially when planted in harsh conditions to better retain soil moisture and insulate the roots from heat and cold.
Retain average, consistent soil moisture for best results, but these tough plants are drought-tolerant once established. New plants should receive regular watering to ensure they've been established.
So easy to grow and very low maintenance! Deadhead or cut back after flowering to promote reblooming, keeping the blooms returning longer! Cut the entire perennial back after it has died back in late winter or early spring. Divide every 3-5 years to maintain vigor.
- Very Cold Hardy Full Sun Lover
- Any Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate to Low Moisture Needs
- Drought Tolerant Once Established
- Deadhead For Return Blooms & Prune Early Spring
- Deer & Rabbit Resistant, Adaptable & Versatile Perennial
