| The purple salvia,planted in June, is supposed to flower all summer long.Ours is not, although the spikes are there and it appears to be growing.What's the problem? |
| Salvia is a member of the mint family and has the same growing requirements - plenty of sunshine, average soil on the dry side, and heat to promote flowering. If your plants have developed flowering spikes but just won't open them, I suspect they are waiting for some consistently warmer temperatures. As long as yours is getting all day sunshine they will eventually flower for you. Just be patient! |
| It's very hot in the upper 90s here but my purple salvia isn't blooming. I pruned it to get more spikes but it just seems like it's dormant. |
