Salvia nemorosa, Marvel Rose

Description

Salvia nemorosa thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soils. It is relatively easy to grow and is tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions.

Water Salvia nemorosa regularly during the growing season, but allow the soil to dry out somewhat between waterings. Fertilize monthly with a balanced fertilizer.
