Plant information

Plant Description

Salvia ‘Waverly’ presents clusters of pink and white flowers, blooming from early summer through autumn. Whether in pots or garden beds, it proves to be an excellent choice for attracting pollinators, particularly favoured by bees. Not the hardiest of plants so take cuttings or take inside over the winter. This variety was bred in California.

🌿 How to Care for Salvia leucantha ‘Waverly’

How do I prune Salvia leucantha ‘Waverly’?
Salvia leucantha ‘Waverly’ should be left through the winter, as the dead wood protects them from frost. They can be pruned in early spring, and more vigorous varieties may be trimmed again around June.
Salvia leucantha ‘Waverly’ can be susceptible to aphids, capsid bugs, whitefly, sage leafhoppers, and glasshouse red spider mites. Additionally, fungal issues like grey mould (Botrytis) can develop in cool and damp conditions, especially during overwintering.
Water Salvia leucantha ‘Waverly’ regularly during dry spells, particularly newly planted ones. Established hardy salvias are drought-tolerant but benefit from deep watering during prolonged hot periods. Avoid waterlogging, as it can cause root rot.
Salvia leucantha ‘Waverly’ require light feeding in spring with a balanced slow-release fertiliser or compost. Tender salvias benefit from fertilisation every 2–4 weeks during the growing season using a liquid feed for flowering plants. Over-fertilising should be avoided, as it can encourage foliage growth at the expense of flowers.
Propagation of Salvia leucantha ‘Waverly’is prohibited without a licence
Salvia leucantha ‘Waverly’ should be trimmed around April or May, a technique often called the “Chelsea Chop,” once new shoots start to appear. Cut back to the fresh growth, and continue deadheading throughout the season. Vigorous varieties can be pruned again in July to encourage bushier, greener plants rather than tall, woody stems. Salvias should not be cut back in autumn, as leaving the foliage intact helps protect the plant from frost.
Salvia leucantha ‘Waverly’ moderately drought-tolerant once established, thriving in well-drained soil and full sun. Tender salvias are less drought-tolerant and require more consistent watering.
Salvia leucantha ‘Waverly’ performs well in UK gardens if given full sun and free-draining soil. It’s hardy in most areas, flowers for months in summer and autumn, and suits borders or containers. Avoid winter wet and prune lightly in spring.
