Do Salvias Need Full Sun

Most salvias prefer full sun, but there are a few types that will do well in filtered shade.

Where is the best place to plant salvias?

  1. All salvias thrive in full sun and well-drained soil.
  2. Many varieties (typically those with light-colored flowers) will also do well in part-shade, but flowering will be reduced.
  3. A south-facing location is ideal.
  4. Salvias look great when planted in groupings of three or more.

Why do my salvias keep dying?

Most common reason for dying salvia is excess soil water/moisture.
