  • 3. **Planting:** You can grow Salvia patens 'Blue Angel' from seeds or transplants. Plant seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or transplant well-established seedlings into your garden once all danger of frost has passed.
  • 4. **Spacing:** Space the plants approximately 12 to 18 inches apart to allow them ample room to grow and spread.

  • 6. **Mulching:** Apply a layer of organic mulch around the plants to help retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.
  • 7. **Fertilization:** Use a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer when planting and periodically throughout the growing season. Follow the package instructions for the proper dosage.
  • 8. **Pruning:** Prune the spent flower spikes to encourage continuous blooming and maintain the plant's shape. It's best to deadhead regularly to prevent seed formation.
