Salvia Splendens Plant Care
- Most salvia like lots of sun, although a few species tolerate very light shade.
- If your garden does not have adequate drainage, mix stones, gravel or lava rock into the bottom of the hole when you plant your salvia.
- Using a trowel, dig a hole as deep and twice as wide as the pot the salvia transplant is in.
- Loosen the roots of the salvia, spread them out in the hole, and backfill with soil mixed with compost.
- Be sure to water the young plants regularly until they are fully grown so that they don t dry out.
- Prune the heavier, woody stems every spring.
Salvia Splendens Red Care
Plant in average or enriched soil and fertilize as needed.
Over a long season, flowers will drop, leaving a ragged spike. When this happens, cut the plant back. New growth emerges refreshed.
Snails and slugs find salvia to be a delicious treat, especially in moist conditions and when the plants are mulched.
| Sunlight | In cooler climates, plant in full sun. In areas with very hot summers, partial shade, especially in the afternoon, reduces stress. |
| Watering | Larger varieties with deeper roots need less water than dwarf varieties. |
| Soil | Well drained soil, warm soil |
| Temperature | 15 degrees C and above |
| Fertilizer | Plant in average or enriched soil and fertilize as needed |
