✂️ Maintenance
Light pruning in spring encourages a compact shape and denser flowering. Regularly remove spent flowers to prolong the blooming period until the first frosts.
Water moderately during the growing season; this salvia is drought tolerant once established. Well-drained soil is essential to prevent root rot. A light mulch helps retain moisture during dry periods.
Ideal for borders, sunny beds, butterfly gardens, and natural landscapes, this vigorous salvia offers abundant and prolonged flowering while remaining easy to care for and undemanding.
