Plant Description:

- They are one of the most rewarding and colorful tropical bedding plants for gardens.
- Salvias just bloom and bloom. The color too is bold and striking.
- A huge range of colors is available. Plants start blooming from a very young age.
- The flowers are tubular. They come out through the colorful sepals which also form a tube. In the red variety the flower is the same color as the sepals.

Growing tips:

-Once you can take care of your salvia - they will really reward you well.
- Salvias grow best in full sunlight. They can also be planted in partially shaded areas that are brightly lit.
- More light they get more is the growth and more are the flowers. They should be planted in large pots (a minimum 20 cms size) or in ground beds.
- The growing media (soil) used for salvia is a key to their success. It should be well drained and should have ample nutrients. Salvias flower a lot and therefore need a lot of food supply.
- The varieties you get is also important. All of the photographs above are of the worlds leading salvia series. Cheap seed is also available. The plants perform accordingly.
- Regular feeding with water-soluble fertilizers is required. Fertilizers recommended for flowering plants are suitable. Use them as per rates mentioned on the fertilizer packets.
- Pinch off the entire flower spike (inflorescence) as soon as it gets old and faded. This will initiate new growth and flowering. Fertilizer can be added a week after clean-up.
-If they are getting too tall you can cut them back. Cutting back should not be done in very hot weather. Plants will not sprout back properly.
-Plants that have become hard and woody will not perform and should be replaced.
