Salvia is a hardy perennial that thrives in well-drained soil and full sun. Plant in spring after the last frost and water regularly.
Fertilize salvia sparingly to avoid excessive foliage growth at the expense of flowers. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Choose a planting location with good air circulation to prevent mildew. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering throughout the season.
Prune salvia in early spring to remove dead or damaged growth and shape the plant. Divide overcrowded clumps every few years to rejuvenate the plant.
