We couldn't resist the Saliva, because of the full beautiful pink blooms that are on the cutting edge of garden fashion. Ballerina has soft pink flowers that are held in place by dark mauve pink calyxes. Salvia is easy to grow and we like to offer plants that provide great results with minimal input. When we saw this bold and different cultivar we grabbed it and can't wait to see it add amazing color and performance in your gardens. Growing to about 20 inches tall and wide, saliva makes a great flowering perennial for the mid-point of garden beds, rock gardens, and cottage gardens. Planted in mass it can be truly stunning offering a platform of color to pollinators when it is in bloom.

Easy to grow in almost any climate, saliva is a tough drought resistant plant. During the bloom period it does benefit from additional water and will perform better if watered regularly from spring into mid-summer. Deadheading the plants will encourage new blooms to come on. You can cut them all the way back to the newest foliage at the base of the plant if they become leggy, if cut back the plants may also rebloom, but usually the flowers won't be as voluminous as the first bloom. This is a great plant for beginning gardeners.

Not so good arrival condition

First, I must say the price was great, but the condition the salvia arrived was terrible. The plants were to big for the boxes, the branches were folded over and broken.I trimmed them way down and will see if they will grow and bloom this year. It would have been better if they had been shipped before they were starting to bloom, would have fit the containers better.

Greg, thanks for the feedback. We take it seriously. If you wouldn't mind sharing photos of the plants when they arrived we'd appriciate seeing them. You can send them to our support@newblooms.com account. We do have a standard box size that we use for many of our squat/tough plants to keep shipping costs reasonable and the saliva stems do indeed often get taller the the box (esp. after April 1st) so we simply fold them down. Some will be OK and larger ones may snap. We find saliva is incredibly resistant to this kind of treatment, so TBH we usually don't think twice about it since they will bounce back with new blooms and growth when trimmed back or deadheaded. I suppose in the future we'll try and keep them cut back for our northern customers as the growing season wears on. Thanks. - Travis
