#ProPlantTips for Care:

A hybrid between Salvia nemorosa and Salvia pratensis, Blue By You has excellent winter hardiness! Salvia are herbaceous perennials that need the full sun to bloom their very best! Grow Salvia in well-drained soil that has moderate, regular moisture their first year, and after they are established can become quite drought tolerant and xeric plants! Deadhead as flowers fade to keep more blooms returning from spring to frost and in late autumn, trim back the mounds of foliage for a clean winter look.

• Full Sun
• Moderate Moisture Needs
• Any Well-Drained Soil
• Deadhead Often & Prune Late Fall
