Salvia (Sage)

Salvia, also known as Sage, is a genus of flowering plants in the mint family, prized for its colorful blooms and fragrant foliage.

Diversity: With over 900 species, Salvia offers options for almost any garden—from full sun to partial shade, and from dry soils to moisture-tolerant conditions.

Colors: Salvia flowers come in shades of blue, purple, red, pink, and white, with some species featuring multicolored blooms.

Blooming: Salvia typically blooms from late spring through fall, often until the first frost, providing a long-lasting floral display.

Fragrance: Many species have aromatic foliage with scents ranging from minty to sweet, enhancing sensory appeal in gardens.

Drought tolerance: Salvias like Autumn Sage, Purple Sage, White Sage, and Russian Sage thrive in dry conditions, making them ideal for xeriscapes and water-wise gardening.

Wildlife attraction: Salvia’s nectar-rich flowers attract pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, while its seeds provide food for birds.

How to grow Salvia: Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. Water deeply during the first season to establish roots. Once established, Salvias require minimal care, with occasional deadheading and annual pruning to promote growth.

10 Key Salvia Benefits: Salvia provides vibrant blooms, attracts pollinators, supports biodiversity, deters deer, is drought-tolerant, enhances soil health, requires low maintenance, offers culinary uses, and suits diverse garden designs.
