Collection: Salvia Plants
The contrast between their vibrant flowers and dark, fragrant foliage make salvias the perfect plants to decorate your borders! As you can probably tell from our collection, our growers love salvia and are always looking out for the latest varieties to add to the nursery. These slender perennials flourish in full sunlight, and are a firm favourite of bees and other valuable pollinators. Typically growing up to around 50cm, they’re perfectly sized for the front of a border, underplanting trees or showcasing in pots.

Which salvia?
Not to be confused with the short lived annual salvias, ours are all perennials which will come back year after year. They come in so many different colours that there’s bound to be one to fit your scheme, from the soft pastels of Merleau Rose, Blue Hill and refreshing Lyrical White to the bold red and white bicolour of Hot Lips or the deep purples, blues and magentas of the Fashionista series. Mix them up or stick to a single colour, they’re all compact enough for borders, beds or pots.

Planting schemes and partners
Salvias like lots of sun, so they should be planted in the brightest and warmest spot in your garden. Moist, well draining soil is a must, and you’ll be glad to know that they become drought resistant once they’re established in the ground, usually after about a year. Until this point, water them regularly until autumn, and deadhead faded flowers to keep them blooming for longer. It’s a good idea to take cuttings from your salvia plants at the end of summer and to mulch around your plants in autumn to protect against any damage caused by a very wet and cold winter.

Salvia FAQs
Where should I plant salvia?
Salvia plants prefer well drained soil and a position in full sunlight (6-8 hours per day in spring and summer) although they will also grow in partial shade.
When is the best time to plant salvia?
The best time to plant salvia is in the spring, after the last frost has passed in your area. This allows the plants the chance to establish themselves before the hot summer months.
How often should I water salvia plants?
Salvia plants prefer slightly dry conditions, so be careful not to overwater them. Water them deeply a couple of times a week rather than often, and increase this in very hot and dry weather.
Do salvia plants need fertilising?
Salvia plants get along just fine without feeding. You can apply a little slow release fertiliser in the spring to promote healthy growth, but avoid overfeeding as this can cause leggy growth rather than flowers.
How do I propagate salvia plants?
Salvia plants can be propagated from seeds, cuttings, or by division. Seeds are simplest - just collect them when the plants have finished flowering or allow them to self seed. Taking softwood cuttings in the spring or semi hardwood cuttings in the summer is probably the most reliable method. Cut about 15-20cm of stem, remove the lower leaves and dip them in rootgrow before potting up. Division can be done after a few years, by digging up the plant clump, splitting it into several smaller sections and replanting them elsewhere.

Plants arrived in great condition and very promptly. Well established - much better than the ones I got at my local garden centre.
