Sowing, Seeds, Planting Plant in moist but well-drained soil in a sunny, sheltered spot. Sprinkle mycorrhizal fungi (Rootgrow) into the base of the planting hole and water well after planting. For best effect plant in groups of 3 or more.
Care Tips Hardy, but they may be damaged by severe winter frosts, avoid this by leaving the dead stalks until spring, when new growth is evident, before cutting them back. A protective mulch should be added around them in the autumn with leaf mould or compost. Leave the seed heads on over winter as they are much appreciated by finches.

These plants were fantastic. The heads were so large and lasted for ages. Just keep dead heading and they go on and on. Colour very deep and strong and held up well in strong rain.

The salvias, all of them, were fantastic this summer. Huge, bushy and still blooming now, at the end of November. They are in pots on my terrace with the bonariensis. I have also used them as cut flowers.

They have flowered but needed quite a lot of water and are a bit weedy - I think I planted them too far apart.
