watering
Sage (Salvia 'Eveline') should be watered frequently but lightly. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out before you add more water. During the summer months, water the plant 1-2 times a week and during the winter months, water it once every week or 2. Make sure to never over-water sage as it could cause the roots to rot. Ensure that the soil draining is enough to allow excess water to evaporate and never let the roots sit in water.
sunlight
Sage (Salvia 'Eveline') requires 5-6 hours of direct sunlight a day to thrive. This should be provided in the morning and/or late afternoon when the sun's rays are less intense. This plant should be kept out of direct midday sunlight to protect it from sunburn. Sage can do well in partial shade, but it won't develop the deep purple tone it's known for without adequate sunlight.
pruning
For Sage (Salvia 'Eveline'), pruning should be done in early spring or mid-spring as soon as new growth appears. Remove dead, diseased, and weak branches. Prune to shape the plant by cutting back branches to desired length. Avoid pruning more than 1/3 of the width of the bush. Remove any remaining leaves that have become discolored or limp. After pruning, make sure to fertilize and water.
