Not sure how much water you're giving them, but they need a LOT, especially if it's been hot where you are.

Some of my Victoria Blue came back this year, some did not. They don't get a lot of water in my yard. I have drip hoses that I run every 4 days or so if it doesn't rain. Do they look like they are drying out? That should be a clue as to whether they need more water.

Sorry, anything that needs watering more than once a week in my yard during hot weather is a lot to me. I should have clarified that. :)

And I also wanted to say that I consider S. farinacea to be a "true" Salvia! Not sure about other people. LOL

I'm sure its getting enough water. Just thought it may be too much water. I water every other day or every third day. Water bill was $125. for one month. My only vise, and althogh I have a small yard, I have a large garden area.
