watering
Sage (Salvia 'Pink Dawn') plants should be watered once a week, providing up to 1 inch of water per session. Water the soil around the base of the plant, avoiding wetting the foliage. Allow the top 2-3 inches of soil to dry before watering again. If the soil does not dry out readily, reduce the frequency of watering to every 10-14 days. In areas with extreme heat, additional water may be required.
sunlight
For Sage (Salvia 'Pink Dawn'), it prefers 6 hours of sunlight per day. It is best to position it in a spot that receives full sun during morning hours, and provide some shade in the afternoon to protect its delicate foliage from scorching afternoon sun. This is especially important during the summer months when the sun is at its strongest. In the cooler months, however, exposing this plant to more direct sunlight can help encourage blooming.
pruning
Pink Dawn Sage should be pruned in late winter or early spring to encourage fresh, healthy growth. Cut back the stems so that the plant does not become excessively tall, leaving a few inches for regrowth. Prune away any dead stems or unhealthy looking branches. Be sure to take care not to cut into the main stem of the plant. After pruning, keep an eye out for new growth and another prune when needed. Feed with a fertilizer to encourage strong, healthy growth.
