Salvias need close to full sun, and will grow near the coast in exposed locations. They are fully hardy, although their flowering season will be shortened somewhat in cold and windy places. They are happy on chalk, and like a light, well-drained but moist soil enriched with humus that doesn't remain wet in winter, so heavy clay is not good. They are perfect for a Mediterranean or gravel garden, and are great in large containers. Established plants are drought resistant, but still want fairly consistent moisture in dry summer periods to flower really well.

Deadhead promptly to get the most from the flowering season. Leave the withered foliage on the plants overwinter for protection, and trim them after the last spring frost, right down to new growth.
Mulch lightly every year or two, ideally after a heavy spring rain when the soil has warmed up. Salvias don't need much fertility, so a little help goes a long way.
A tall salvia good for structure in any design and since it is so closely related to Salvia Caradonna the two would make a winning combination, paired together in a large planter. The pink flowers would also compliment Achillea millefolium ‘Cerise Queen’ alongside the annual Cosmos 'Purity'. For something dramatic rose wise, plant together with Rosa Cardinal de Richelieu or Eyes For You.
Caradonna is an Italian surname, meaning dear lady, and she's the mother of this variety. Registration code is Tuitsalv.
