Salvia nemorosa 'Wesuwe'
Meadow sage (Salvia nemorosa 'Wesuwe') is an attractive perennial which produces beautiful violet, blue or white four-petalled blooms. Growing to a height of 20-75cm, it features tall spikes of blooms which attract bees and butterflies into the garden and bring a wonderful sense of wildlife. A compact, long-flowering variety, 'Wesuwe' is easy to care for and requires only light pruning and dead-heading occasionally to maintain its shape and vivid colour. It is perfect for flower beds, rockeries and cottage gardens and will thrive in any well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade.

watering
Meadow sage (Salvia nemorosa 'Wesuwe') should be watered thoroughly once a week with around 1 inch of water. Watering this plant more often than once a week can lead to root rot and issues with fungal disease. During the summer months the shower should be increased to twice a week or more if the temperatures are particularly high and the soil seems extra dry. During the winter months, reduction in watering may be needed. Avoid overwatering as the plant’s dormancy during the winter months means it won’t need as much moisture.
sunlight
Meadow sage (Salvia nemorosa 'Wesuwe') thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. It is best planted in spots that receive bright morning sunlight and some filtered afternoon shade. When given its ideal levels of sunlight, Meadow sage will stay blooming throughout the growing season from mid-spring to mid-summer.
pruning
Meadow sage (Salvia nemorosa 'Wesuwe') should be pruned right after flowering, usually between late spring and early summer. Pruning should be minimal, removing spent flowers and shortening the bud-bearing stems to keep the plant neat, encourage another bloom, and to maintain a bushy shape. Remove only around a third of the stems to a height of about 6 to 8 inches. Make sure to disinfect the pruning shears before and after each use to avoid transferring any diseases.
