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

Too soon to evaluate -

"Too soon to evaluate - they are still alive, but too soon to tell if they will continue to grow and bloom."

— Scott M. (5/5)

#sweepstakes - I am buying more!

"as filler in my borders. Its easy pretty hardy and the deer doesn't bother with it"

— Beth (5/5)

Love it

"Beautiful color and great for pollinators"

— Bean (5/5)

Slow but satisfactory start

"These plants were smaller and slower to start than others that I ordered. However, they're surviving at ~10"" high and blooming in the first year. I have high hopes for more impact next year."

— CHECHE (5/5)

Great addition to my garden

"This variety of salvia survives in over 100 F temps here in West Texas, which in itself is an accomplishment. Has not thrived yet, but I am hopeful for the fall season with more moderate temps."

— DainaJO (4/5)

Brilliant

"I have horrible clay soil and unpredictable levels of water, due to overflow from neighbors watering and occasional torrential rain. I have a south exposure flower bed that kills everything. I bought seven of these plants, I dug an oversized trench in a wiggly line pattern in my flower bed, filled the trench with a mixture of 1/2 sand and 1/2 soil, then planted my seven beauties. This is their first year. One is struggling to blossom, but still green and healthy. The others are leaving me breathless. They attract eyeballs. The evening sun shining through the flowers is my favorite thing about them. I posted a photo I took with no filters. They put on a show."

— Happy P. (5/5)

Beautiful salvia

"I use it with roses and other butterfly attracting perennials. love the color and as usual your plants are very heathy and perform well in my garden."

— Lucia (5/5)

Large and Hardy

"Last year, I bought three of these from HCG. The ones I used bark mulch around are all larger than expected; about 18-20"" tall by 26"" wide. The one I planted in a gravel-mulched bed is more compact, but still looks healthy. They all attract lots of bees to the garden and the rabbits haven't touched them. The flowers are lovely, and bloom at least twice if pruned after first bloom."

— Meg (5/5)

Fabulous plant

"I planted this salvia in a bed with Penstmon BOP, Yarrow, Salvia Greggii 'Playa Rosa'. It bloomed beautifully during a typical hot Sacramento summer with occasional water. It produced a huge volume of seeds but was not problematic. It went dormant in the winter but has come back with lots of foliage."

— California G. (4/5)

Beautiful color Salvia

"Beautiful plant. I bought 2 of these, planted last year, this year they bloomed, the color is gorgeous."

— Bunny (5/5)
