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.
