Yes you can. You should probably avoid the California salvias but lot of other New World types are at least marginally hardy in the Midatlantic. What is your zone and what is your soil like? Many of the salvias that can be grown like drier soil. If the soil is dry enough in winter you can add a couple of zones of hardiness just by covering the crowns with bags of fall leaves. It is such a large topic because there are so many species it is hard to say much more. Some types can be brought in in pots like greggii and can be kept growing all winter. Others like guaranitica can be allowed to freeze to the ground and then be stored dormant in a cool dark place. Still others can be reduced in size by taking cuttings in late summer and those can be kept actively growing indoors.
