watering

Water Sage (Salvia nemorosa 'Rosenwein') deeply once a week during dry spells. Make sure the soil is damp but not soggy. It’s important to avoid overwatering and water more frequently during summer and drought conditions. When the temperature starts to dip, usually in late autumn or early winter, reduce watering.

sunlight

Sage (Salvia nemorosa 'Rosenwein' Rose Wine) can tolerate full sun to partial shade conditions. The plant benefits from at least 6 hours of sunlight per day to thrive. This is best provided in the morning sun and afternoon shade. If planted in a very sunny spot, make sure there is some relief from the late afternoon sun by selecting a spot with some afternoon shade. When grown in an area with full sun, ensure there is ample soil moisture available. If grown in too much shade, the plants may not flower well and grow leggy.

pruning

Pruning for your Sage (Salvia nemorosa 'Rosenwein' ROSE WINE) should occur in early spring, late spring, and/or as needed through mid-summer. Pruning should generally be light, meaning no more than 1/3 of the plant should be removed at a time. When pruning in early spring, you should trim your Sage back by about 1/3 of the size and remove any dead, diseased or damaged foliage. Late spring pruning should be done to shape and control the size of your Sage, removing about 1/3 of the growth. As needed mid-summer pruning should be done to keep your Sage looking neat and tidy. This should involve light pruning and deadheading to promote new blooms.
