Salvias

Salvias are bushy annuals, which can last a number of years in excellent conditions.   Salvias grow to a height of 60cm with a spread of 50cm.   They develop numerous flower  heads that shoot upwards like little sky rockets.    The flower colours are vibrant blues, reds and whites.   They make a great plant to plant along a fence or as a background plant.  They can be cut back after flowering.   This will produce new growth and more flowers.   Full sun positions are best, with a organically rich , well drained soil.  Soil enrichment with manures Eg, sheep or cow manure, will assist root development.  Moderate watering is required.   Salvias make good potted plants, a large pot is best to maintain moisture.
