Are Salvias perennials?

Many Salvias, including Salvia Farinacea, are perennial in warmer climates but often grown as annuals in the UK.

How do I care for Salvia Farinacea?

Plant in full sun with well-drained soil; deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. Watering: moderate; keep soil moist but not waterlogged. Grow it in full sun, well-drained soil, space 30cm apart.

Do Salvias attract pollinators?

Yes, Salvias are excellent for attracting bees and butterflies. Harvest: Cut flowers when blooms open for longest vase life. Flowering runs June to October.

Do these seeds make a good gift?

Yes — this is a straightforward packet to give, and what makes it work as a gift is mostly timing. Sowing runs February to April, so a packet given inside that window can go straight in, and one given outside it keeps perfectly well until the season comes round. There are approximately 80 seeds in the packet. On effort it looks after itself, which matters if you are giving it to someone new to growing. It suits pots, beds and cut flower gardens, so it works for a small space as well as a garden.
