Salvia azurea, also known as Blue Salvia, is easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates drought. Prefers moist, gravelly or sandy soils with good drainage. Plant stems may be cut back by up to 1/2 in late spring to promote compactness and prevent stem flopping.
Plants may repeat bloom from summer to fall, but need regular moisture to encourage this. Remove spent flower spikes to help extend the bloom period.
If plant foliage depreciates in hot summer conditions to the point where it looks unsightly, consider trimming back. Cut plants back after flowering has concluded.
