mealycup sage

Mealycup Sage should be watered approximately every 7-10 days. The exact amount of water will depend on the climate of your location and the current temperature. Generally, aim to water the plant until excess moisture is seen draining from the holes in the bottom of the pot. Make sure to water drainage is available in the container, either from draining holes or a saucer beneath the container. Watering should be done thoroughly and slowly, allowing the water to saturate your soil and reach the roots. During hot and dry weather, it is a good practice to water your Mealycup Sage more often.

The mealycup sage (Salvia farinacea 'Victoria Blue') prefers full sun or partial shade for optimal growth. It does best in direct sunlight for 8 - 10 hours per day, and it can tolerate up to 12 hours per day during the summer months. During the winter months, when days are shorter, the plant should receive at least 6 hours of sunlight for optimum growth. Additionally, if the plant is in partial shade, it should also be exposed to some direct sunlight for about half of the day.

Mealycup sage (Salvia farinacea 'Victoria Blue') is best pruned lightly throughout the growing season to keep the plant looking full and encourage more blooms. Prune any flowers or stems that have gone to seed, and snip back any leggy stems to keep the plant more compact. It's best to prune back Mealycup sage in late spring and early summer, as this is when the plan is actively growing and producing new blooms. Any late pruning can remove potential blooms.
