Growing this gorgeous salvia begins with choosing the right location. Since you will receive an already grown seedling, you can look forward to its deep purple flowers very soon. Love & Wishes loves sun and warmth, so choose the sunniest possible spot on the terrace, balcony, or in a flower bed. It can tolerate partial shade, but it will bloom most abundantly in full sun and the stems will be firmer. The soil should be humous, loamy, but above all, well-drained. This salvia cannot tolerate permanent waterlogging, which could lead to root rot, so quality drainage, especially when growing in containers, is an absolute necessity.
It requires regular watering of roughly medium intensity, allowing the substrate to dry out slightly between waterings. For the plant to reach its respectable height of 80 to 100 cm and continuously set new buds from June to October, it is advisable to fertilize it regularly with a fertilizer for flowering plants. A great advantage of this modern variety is its extraordinary resilience – it doesn't suffer from common diseases or pests, so you don't have to worry too much about its health. To encourage further blooming and maintain a compact, neat shape, we recommend continuously removing faded inflorescences; the plant will reward you with a flood of new flowers.
Given its frost resistance only down to -5 °C (zone 9a), in our climate it is primarily grown as a portable plant in containers. Large terracotta pots suit it very well and allow for easy handling when seasons change. If you plant it in the open ground as an annual, expect that it will not survive the local winter outdoors. When growing in a pot, move it to a bright, frost-free place with an ideal temperature of around 5–10 °C before stronger frosts arrive, where it will spend the winter with significantly reduced watering. In the spring, you can cut it back deeper so it sprouts beautifully again and thickens up.
