Description

How to Plant Salvia

• Loosen the soil to a depth of 12 inches, removing any large stones or roots. Mix in a 3-inch layer of compost to provide nutrients.
• If planting in a container, add some grit to the compost to improve drainage and feed in spring. Plants grown in garden soil don’t need feeding.
• Dig a hole twice the diameter of the container the plant is in.
• Remove the plant from its container and place it in the hole so the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface.
• Space plants 1 to 3 feet apart, depending on the variety.
• Carefully fill in around the plant and firm the soil gently.
• Water thoroughly.
