Planting & Care

Tips For Growing Salvia

Salvia (commonly referred to as ‘Sage’) represent a huge family of ornamental plants that attract a variety of pollinators to their nectar rich flowers. They are resistant to deer and rabbits.

  1. Plant in full sun.
  2. Plant native Western Salvia varieties in soil that is low fertility and well-drained.
  3. Plant Old World Salvia in a wide range of soils (loams, sand) including clay.
  4. Many spring-flowering varieties of sage will re-bloom in fall if deadheaded after the first bloom.
  5. New transplants need regular irrigation their first growing season to establish themselves. Once established they will need regular, deep irrigation during hot, dry weather.
  6. During fall garden clean-up, wait to cut back the plants until spring for improved cold hardiness.
  7. In colder USDA zones (zone 6 and below) it is essential to give Native Southwestern and Southwestern hybrids protection from the extreme cold their first couple winters in the garden. Mound up pine needles or fallen autumn leaves over and around the base of the plant.

Western Native Salvia: : It is from the Western US that we find our most beautiful native salvia species. For attracting hummingbirds, there are no finer flowers than the Western native sages. Typically, this group of Salvia prefer ‘lean’ (not very fertile), well drained soils. They will grow in dry clay conditions in arid climates but will rot out in clay soils where there is more than about 15 to 18” of precipitation annually.

Western Salvia include:

  • Salvia greggii - ‘Furman’s Red’, ‘Cold Hardy Pink’
  • Salvia hybrids - ‘Maraschino’, ‘Raspberry Delight’, ‘Ultra Violet’ and ‘Burgundy Seduction’.
  • Salvia pachyphylla and Salvia dorrii is recommended for arid western gardens.
  • Salvia azurea and Salvia reptans - Early fall bloomers with excellent cold hardiness.

To get established in USDA zones 5 & 6, Western Salvia (noted above) must be planted in spring or early summer, not in the fall. Protect your new plants over their first winter or two in your garden. Cover each plant with a generous pile of clean straw or pine needles. This allows the plant's crown (junction of root and branches) to mature and obtain maximum cold hardiness.

Old Wolrd Salvia: The Old World Salvia include some of the very best, most durable, longest-lived perennials. These salvia are an excellent choice for gardeners across most of the United States. ‘Old World’ Sages bloom primarily in shades of blue, pink and white. They are well adapted to cold climates and a wide range of soils including clay. The European Salvia are incredibly attractive to honey bees, many of our native bees and bumble bees as well as butterflies.

Old World varieties include:

  • Salvia syslvestris'Lyrical Rose', 'May Night', 'Little Night', 'Caradonna' and 'Marcus'.
  • Salvia daghestanica
  • Salvia verticiliata

Lovely salvia plant. It’s growing

"Lovely salvia plant. It’s growing well and one of my favorites."

— Sue V. (5/5)

Amazing plants

"Plants are always so strong and healthy!"

— SunShine J. (5/5)

Healthy and young

"Can't wait to see this salvia in bloom this summer. I started planting salvias that I got from you last year and I had hummingbirds for the fall that were beautiful. They loved the salvia as much as I do. I hope to try out many more in the years to come. What gorgeous plants these are! Thank you!!"

— Vicky (5/5)

Second time is not the charm

"The first plant arrived covered in soil with 6 branches broken off. I requested a replacement, which arrived in worse condition than the first one, and is now dead. The first, beaten-up one is growing slowly and looks like it will eventually be ok. I can't say much else about it as it has only grown 1/2"" in 3 weeks."

— Mumlund (3/5)

Healthy beautiful plants!

"Great perennials!"

— GiGi (5/5)

Yes I would buy the item again.

"I used them in a Memorial butterfly garden that I maintain in our subdivision."

— Plantlady (4/5)

Beautiful with abundant flowers

"This plant is beautiful and abundant. It started flowering in July and doesn't show any signs of slowing down. The pics were taken in late August (I protect them from critters with an enclosure) Look at how it's grown in one season! Seems to thrive in our hot desert climate. Hope find them available again next season, will order more."

— Terry (5/5)

the little salvia that could

"I got a few of these salvias. According to my order history it appears I got and planted them in 2018. This particular one I included the photo of was what I call a ""runt"". Although overall I am extremely pleased with the plants I have gotten from HCG, which have mostly been salvias, once in a while when I get a batch of plants from HCG there is one that is pretty scrawny compared to the others. This plant happened to be such a plant. It made it even harder on the plant that because it was so small I sometimes didn't notice it when I watered the yard. So it struggled to get enough water. At its lowest point it had just ONE healthy leaf on it. I didn't think it had much chance, but I saw to it that it got watered. And it gradually perked up and eventually thrived. And now, just 16 months or so since I first planted it, it is doing fine. So this little scrapper gives me an appreciation for this particular variety of salvia. The flower color, of course, is excellent. It has gone through just one winter here in the Portland, OR area, and it was a fairly mild winter, and I have found that some salvias are not as cold hardy as one would think from the USDA climate zone they are rated at. But the hardy salvias from HCG like this one that I believe is rated zone 6, I have no concern that they will have any problems handling our winters. (I believe where I am is considered zone 8b)."

beautiful color which carries a long distance

"We grow these in an elevated bed around our driveway to expand the blooming season of our iris bed. The radiant color can be appreciated 150 feet away. Butterflies and hummers love them summer to fall. Perfect for our purposes and hardy. Not so dynamic in some pots."

— Bunkie (5/5)

Brilliant red

"The color on this plant was just as shown. It is such a beautiful wine red. Just what I was looking for and seems to be quite hardy."

— LN (5/5)
