Salvias are excellent for summer and autumn displays. They are prolific in flower, loved by pollinating insects and an outstanding colour range to choose from.

  • Planting: Plant from late May to early June, as soon as the risk of frosts have passed. Plant as soon as possible to give your plants the maximum time to establish their roots before winter. Trim back before planting using sharp secateurs to encourage sturdy growth. Plant in well-drained soil in a sheltered, sunny position.
  • Care: Deadhead flowers regularly to promote longer flowering. Feed regularly with a balanced fertiliser to maintain healthy growth. Tender salvias should be lifted and grown under protection during the winter. Prune established salvias in late spring, when the new growth starts and the risk of frosts has passed.

*Available May-September, subject to weather conditions* Full cultural guides are sent with every order. If you purchase your plants late in the season, they are best kept frost free and planted out the following spring.

  • Robin M Verified Buyer
    I'm always delighted to order special plants from my favourite nursery. I say that although I've only once managed to take the opportunity to make one visit many years ago as I live far away on Tyneside. However I'm so impressed with the wonderful quality of all the plants that I have received, and especially impressed with the professional packaging when I open it up to see the well cared for plants. I hope to pay another visit one day soon, and admire John's Garden too.
