A little care will keep your salvias looking their best.

Salvias, as well as other perennials, are beautiful in spring.

Unfortunately, they get lanky and scraggly when the summer heat hits.

If you’re leaving on vacation, severely cut them back and lightly fertilize.

They’ll be budding out to greet you when you return!
