Nature Hills Nursery Marcus Salvia

Since this variety grows to about 1 foot wide, you should space them 12 inches apart if you are planting them in a row for a border or mass planting. This allows enough room for airflow while still creating a cohesive, full look.

This perennial is hardy in zones 4a through 8b. If you live within these zones, it is designed to survive the winter and return the following spring.

Absolutely. Its compact, 1-foot upright habit makes it an excellent candidate for containers. Just ensure your pot has good drainage and receives full sun throughout the day.

While Marcus Salvia is drought-tolerant once established, it requires moderate watering during its first season to develop a strong root system. After that, you will only need to water it during extended dry spells.

While it is a rebloomer, removing spent flower spikes can help encourage a tidier appearance and potentially stimulate a more vigorous flush of new blooms throughout the season.
