| Wait until they have broken dormancy and until the last frost is past. While waiting to set them in the ground, fertilize after they start growing to give the root systems a boost for minimizing transplant shock. You can take the plants out of the pots to check the color of the roots. New roots are white to off-white. Salvia guaraniticas can have a coil of many stolons wrapped around the edge, and they will start to expand almost as soon as they are removed from the pot. Be prepared to work with these quickly in order to get the pot back on. If the stolons have good root systems at the nodes, these can serve as rooted cuttings. Those with smallish roots should be set in a rooting medium until both the roots and leaves have fleshed out. |
