Salvia Plants are outstanding when planted in beds, borders, containers, patios, and edges. They have the capability to attract butterflies. They are very well suited for cottage gardens. Easy to grow, they range from annual to perennial shrub-like blossom plants and grow in humus-rich, moist, well-drained soil with a sunlight.

The Salvia Plants are usually grown in bunches. They display eye-catching, tube-like bright flowers rising from the dark green aromatic foliage thick with spikes. Salvia requires very little maintenance with deadheading. They are mostly pest and disease-free. It likes to get balanced, slow-release fertilizers in spring.

Growing from seeds at first, but self-propagating during the flowering, you see small seedlings anywhere in your garden. For maintaining your garden neat and beautiful, pruning can be done in flowering seasons. It is commonly seen that aged Salvia Plants tend to grow woody stems. It is advisable to cut this woody stem off. Cut all those plants that undergo any kind of damage.

At NurseryLive, you will find a range of Salvia Plants annual varieties that prefer warm seasons. While the perennial ones are blooming year-round only if they are not killed by frost. They generally reach a height between 2-4 feet, but their fast growth promises you the dream garden faster. Admired for its property of tolerance in dry soil, mulching is appreciated for retaining moisture. Mulching will also reduce weed growth.
You can plant them in a round plastic black pot of 15 cm (6 in) in size, which can later be repotted after the Salvia Plants grow high.
