    How to establish your Salvia Blue Angel?

    Plant Salvia Blue Angel in a full sun position.

    For best performance:

    Choose a site with at least six hours of direct sunlight each day.
    Full sun encourages abundant flowering and compact growth.
    Avoid heavily shaded positions.

    How to maintain your Salvia Blue Angel once established?

    Water regularly until plants become established.

    Once established, Salvia Blue Angel is highly drought tolerant and generally only requires watering during prolonged dry periods.

    Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

    For healthy growth and prolific flowering:

    Apply compost annually in spring.
    Use a balanced slow-release fertiliser at the beginning of the growing season.
    Avoid excessive nitrogen-rich fertilisers, which encourage leafy growth rather than flowers.

    Regular deadheading will keep Blue Angel flowering for months.

    Simply:

    Remove spent flower spikes once they fade.
    Cut stems back to a healthy pair of leaves.
    Repeat throughout the flowering season.

    This encourages fresh growth and repeat flowering.

    During the Growing Season
    Remove faded flower stems regularly.
    Lightly trim plants if they become untidy.
    Late Winter
    Leave the top growth in place over winter to help protect the crown.
    Cut plants back to approximately 10–15cm once new growth begins in spring.
    Remove any frost-damaged stems.

    Salvia Blue Angel is reasonably frost hardy and performs well throughout most of New Zealand.

    For best winter performance:

    Ensure good drainage.
    Avoid prolonged winter wet.
    Apply a light mulch in colder districts if desired.

    Blue Angel performs beautifully in pots and patio containers.

    For best results:

    Use a premium free-draining potting mix.
    Position in full sun.
    Water when the potting mix begins to dry.
    Feed lightly during spring and summer.
