General Information:
Salvia are known for their vibrant flowers. With their wide range of colors, including shades of blue, purple, red, and white, Salvia plants are a popular choice for adding visual interest to gardens.
Salvia plants prefer well-draining soil and require regular watering. However, it's important not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. Adding organic matter, such as compost, to the soil can improve drainage and provide essential nutrients for healthy growth.
Salvia plants thrive in full sun or partial shade. They require at least six hours of direct sunlight each day to produce abundant blooms.
Salvia plants are relatively low-maintenance, but they can benefit from occasional fertilization. Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to provide essential nutrients throughout the growing season. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application rates and timing.
