How to grow salvia plants.



This is a hardy perennial that can tolerate most soils if they are well-drained. Preferring full sun, this Salvia would be most effective at the front of your borders or as a feature piece of a patio or social space if planted in a container. Flowering from June to August, you will have a summer of beautiful colour that can be extended slightly by deadheading any flower stems that die off.



What are plug plants?



Plug plants are very young plants that come ready to go in the ground. They are grown in single units in modular trays and be either seedlings or cuttings. Buying plug plants lets you fill your beds and borders easily, and in a way that is stress-free for your plant since it allows for little root disturbance.



How do you plant a plug plant?



When you first get your plant home, remove any packaging except for the pot. Place the plant in a warm and sunny space for 2-4 hours to let them recover and acclimatise. You should try to plant your plug the same day if you can. To do this, dig a hole in your desired place that is slightly larger than the root ball and soil around it and put the plug inside. Cover with the existing earth and press down lightly. Water well for the first week to help the plant establish itself and feed with an all-purpose feed after 3 weeks.
