Care Instructions for Salvia Bumblesky:
Ideal Planting Location: Plant in full sun with well-drained soil. Salvia thrives in sunny locations and is well-suited for borders, raised beds, and containers.
Planting Steps: Remove the plant from its 9cm pot and plant at the same depth as in the container. Space plants around 30-40cm apart to allow for good air circulation.
Watering Tips: Water thoroughly after planting to help establish roots. Once established, Salvia is drought-tolerant and only needs occasional watering during dry spells. Feeding Schedule: Apply a balanced fertilizer in spring to promote healthy growth and abundant flowering.
Deadheading and Pruning: Regularly deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and keep the plant looking tidy. Trim the plant back after flowering to maintain its shape and encourage fresh growth.
Winter Care: Salvia Bumblesky is hardy, but adding a layer of mulch around the base in autumn can help protect the roots during colder months.
