Description
Whether you want your garden to be low maintenance, pollinator-friendly, drought tolerant, or all of the above - salvia is the ideal perennial. Its fragrant foliage is pleasing to humans, but repels common pests like deer and rabbits. More importantly, salvia is incredibly long-blooming, especially when sheered after flushes of flowers fade. Try planting it in containers, as a border, in mass plantings, or along pathways where it can be enjoyed in late spring and summer.

Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:
Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.

Plants arrived very healthy
I think that shipping took way to long. 9 days I believe to get my plants. Package arrived in good condition, plants looked fine inside, but as I took them out I notice some steams broken, the plants were in a very fragile state. 9 days of being jarred around in vehicles that is alot. So i think you should offer customers shipping options. I did not like that it took so long to get the plants to me. I transplanted them and ended up putting them back in a pot. As it turns out I lost one of the plants. I'm watching the other one real close hoping it will grow into a beautiful plant. It seems to be doing good.

I was unable to find these local. Plants arrived healthy and they are thriving now.

This shipment came with all the dirt out of the containers and the health of the plants was in very poor condition.

Arrived quickly and in good condition. I can't wait to watch them growArrived quickly and in good condition. I can't wait to watch them grow
The Salvia were delivered in great shape. I’m always nervous about how my plants will survive shipping. The packing method is genius - as the dirt tried to fall out during shipping but was thwarted by the careful packing method. With gentle focus, it was easy to get the dirt back inside the container before untieing the plastic. Where other companies have failed to solve this common problem, Great Garden Plants succeeded on my first purchase. I will buy more from them!!

The plants are already blooming.
I have purchased many times from Great Garen Plants. Lately, I purchased three of these plants. Two of them came with leaves. The third one was completely bare except for one leaf. It's the end of May. This shouldn't be happening. The plant should have arrived like the others. Unfortunately, I will plant it with the others which will look weird. I hope it thrives.
We're sorry you're unsatisfied with your plant. On each product page and our plant sizes page, we note that all of our plants are young. The size of our plants varies depending on the time of year and whether they were recently trimmed. The most important thing when purchasing plants, online or in garden centers, is a full and robust root system, which we prioritize. Trimming only encourages stronger root development! All orders are covered by our 60-day guarantee, so please reach out to [email protected] to start the claims process if necessary.
The pink perfusion salvia I ordered are thriving along with everything else I’ve ordered from great garden plants this year! Thanks for making my garden look beautiful!
Roots of plants sent were scant and very brown. Planted them anyway. They're still alive but haven't grown yet. I'm a seasoned Gardener and know the importance of small plants having nice white roots as far as growth and health is concerned. Disappointed but you never know, I might get pleasantly surprised in the long run. Not holding my breath, though.

The plant is just starting to flower. It’s a very pretty color and the plant seems very healthy.
I live in Buffalo New York. Would these plant be ok to plant here?
The best time to plant salvia is Spring after the threat of frost has passed. If you are containing planting you can plant in the fall and make sure you are winterizing the plant in a protected area for the winter.
