| I bought a 3 gallon container of this Victoria blue. It has blue spikes that are blooming and looks pretty. When the blue spikes fade, Do i cut this so it could bloom again or Where do i cut? Also does it need full sun!! How much water? |

Likes full sun and very good drainage. Water well but the soil should dry out a bit between watering. To encourage strong replacement growth, cut 2-4 inches below all of the flowering stems. Good Luck!

RE: Victoria blue salvia

| Hi! I'm new on this forum and for the first time trying my hand at gardening. 10 days ago I have started Victoria Blue. All the seeds have germinated but they have not grown up or shooting up any true leaves. Is this normal or am I just hurrying too much. Please advice. The temperature where I live (Kolkata, India) is currently around 37º - 40ºC max and 25º - 28ºC min, with no rainfall. Though according to the met predictions monsoon is likely to set in another 15 - 20 days. I'm just spraying the seedlings with a mist of water and have germinated them on a mixture of fine soil plus dry leaf dust (50 - 50 ratio). I'm keeping them covered with a paper dome all the time except for two hours in the morning and two hours before the sun set. Am I doing things okay? |

| I'm guessing that Victoria blue salvia would need a little bit of water in NM, because it needs a bit more water in Nevada to establish and maintain it (It's drier here, believe it or not). The plants I put in about two weeks ago are finally adapting to the dry climate, though, not wilting out nearly so often. |
