Salvia is easy to grow in almost any climate. Though it is drought tolerant, it will bloom better with regular watering. Deadheading encourages a longer bloom time. If plants get leggy during the season, cut them all the way back to the newly developed foliage. If cut back, plants may rebloom in fall but often the flowers are fewer and smaller.
Container:
Trade 1 Gallon Container
When to Plant:
Late summer
Finish:
8-10 weeks
Notes:
Bulk the summer prior to sales for best results.
Container:

Soil PH:
5.8-6.2
EC (What is EC?):
2.0-3.0 pour through method
Fertility:
Salvias are light to moderate feeders, requiring only modest amount of fertilizer. Apply a constant liquid fertilizer at 50ppm nitrate at each watering.
Vernalization:
Not required to flower but is beneficial. If planting plugs in summer provide 8-10 weeks of cold.
Pests & Diseases:
Scale, whiteflies, spider mites, aphids, beetles, stalk borers, aster leafhopper and others, plant bugs, caterpillers, nematodes, greenhouse leaf tier (Oeobia), greenhouse orthezia(Orthezia).
Rot(Sclerotium), bacterial blight(Psudomonas), leaf spots, Botrytis blight, damping-off, powdery mildew(Erysiphe), downy mildew(Peronospora), Verticillium wilt, stem rot(Sphaeropsis), rusts, root rots, viruses.
Potting & Timing:
Root Trimming: Roots can be trimmed to fit container.
Moisture:
For potting soil use Commercial planting media.
Water plants thoroughly and let plants dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root and crown rot.
Planting Level:
Plant crown even with soil level.
PGRs/Pinching:
It is beneficial to pinch plants from plugs to increase lateral branching. For height control use B-Nine at 2500 ppm 2-3 times at weekly intervals.
Lighting:
Salvias will flower best under long days.
Grower Tips:
Plant plugs in late summer for best results or choose bare root for a quick turn spring planted crop.
