Planting Instructions:

1. Soil Preparation: Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Salvia thrives in a variety of soil types but prefers slightly alkaline soil.
2. Sowing: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface, as they need light to germinate.
3. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist until seeds germinate. Once established, water regularly but allow the soil to dry out between waterings.
4. Spacing: Thin seedlings to about 12-18 inches apart to give them room to grow and ensure good air circulation.
5. Care: Salvia is relatively low-maintenance and does not require much care once established.
6. Fertilization: Apply a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks to support healthy growth and abundant flowering.

Growing Tips:

• Light Requirements: Salvia thrives in full sun and needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day.
• Deadheading: Remove spent flower spikes to encourage continuous blooming and prevent the plant from putting energy into seed production.
• Pest Control: Salvia is generally pest-resistant, but monitor for aphids and spider mites. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil if necessary.
• Pruning: Trim back the plant after the first flush of blooms to encourage a second bloom cycle and keep the plant tidy.
