The cultivar is reported at about 2–3 feet tall and around 20 inches wide, with flower spikes rising above the foliage from summer into fall. ## Growing Conditions Give it a sunny position and a well-drained planting area. Salvia splendens is treated as an annual in many gardens; water regularly while plants establish and during hot, dry weather. Leave enough space for branching stems and airflow. ## Maintenance Pinch or trim damaged stems to keep the plant balanced. Remove faded flower spikes to tidy the display and encourage continued flowering while growing conditions remain favorable.
