Planting Instructions:
- Soil Preparation: Choose a location with well-draining soil. Salvia prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil but can adapt to a range of soil types.
- Sowing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or sow directly outdoors after the last frost. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep and cover lightly with soil.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-14 days.
- Spacing: Thin seedlings to about 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
Growing Tips:
- Light Requirements: Salvia thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Ensure they receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Watering: Water regularly during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.
- Fertilization: Salvia does not require heavy fertilization. Use a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer sparingly if needed.
- Deadheading: Remove spent flower spikes to encourage continuous blooming and maintain plant vigor.
- Pest Control: Monitor for pests such as aphids and whiteflies. Treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary. Salvia is generally resistant to deer and rabbits.
- Pruning: Lightly prune in early spring to remove any dead or damaged growth and to encourage bushier plants.
Special Notes:
- Salvia is known for its drought tolerance once established, making it a great choice for water-wise gardens.
- Some varieties of Salvia are perennial, providing year-after-year blooms in suitable climates, while others are annuals. Check the specific variety for more details.
