How to grow plants like these? Let’s make it real easy! First off they love the sun lots of it, and are very tolerant to heat. They also love lots of moisture but must have well drained soil, make sure when watering to really soak them well then let the plant dry out a bit before watering again. The salvia plants can tolerate dry spells but I don’t recommend it if you want it to be full, lush, green and produce lots of blooms. By their distinctive look and colors it makes it easy for flowering plant identification, you know once you’ve seen one you’ll always recognize them. These types of evergreen shrubs are fast growing and will bloom from the late spring all the way through to late fall. And depending where you live as long as you don’t get snow to heavy frost your semi-tropical perennial will do fine. How do plants grow so easily with very little effort and look so beautiful, I don't know but I'm not going to complain...... They also grow anywhere from 18 inches to 5 feet tall.
