Caring for Salvia splendens

• Most salvia like lots of sun, although a few species tolerate very light shade.
• If your garden does not have adequate drainage, mix stones, gravel or lava rock into the bottom of the hole when you plant your salvia.
• Using a trowel, dig a hole as deep and twice as wide as the pot the salvia transplant is in.
• Loosen the roots of the salvia, spread them out in the hole, and backfill with soil mixed with compost.
• Be sure to water the young plants regularly until they are fully grown so that they don t dry out.
• Prune the heavier, woody stems every spring.
