Hands Down, One of the Best!
Soft icy-blue, slender flower spikes from nose to toes! Uniform, globe-shaped habit. Salvia Perfect Profusion from the Profusion Series was developed by Walters Gardens and is hands down one of the very best series of perennial Salvia for consistent rebloom. Cut back spent flower stems and these astounding varieties will rebloom multiple times throughout the summer. Salvia are excellent, easy-to-grow perennials for a summer show of intense color. They perform best in full sun and are real heat lovers. Not only do the flowers attract butterflies, but the plants are also very deer-resistant. Meadow Sage responds well to shearing after blooming to prompt fresh foliage and blooms.

Salvia General Information

Salvia Plant Care

Prefers moist but well-drained soil. Can be divided every 3 - 5 years in early spring. After blooming, cut down to basal growth, as new growth will be more appealing. May flop if given too rich soil or excessive shade. Blooms more profusely with regular watering. Dislikes a spot that is damp over the winter.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!
