Salvia (Meadow Sage) plants like full sun and grow well in average or better soil, but the soil should drain well.
Once your Salvia plants are established, they should grow well with few problems. Keep the soil moist to slightly dry. Water them during dry periods, once or twice per week is sufficient.
Add a general purpose fertilizer when planting and then once a month after that.
Salvia plants can be heavy seeders. Place them in an area where you want them to re-seed and return each year.
Salvia can also be propagated by division, which is best done in the spring.
Our Salvia plants have larger, healthier root systems because they are grown in larger pots.
