🌿 How to Care for Chelsea 2024 Collection- includes Salvia jamensis ‘Belle de loire’

How do I prune Chelsea 2024 Collection- includes Salvia jamensis ‘Belle de loire’?
Chelsea 2024 Collection- includes Salvia jamensis ‘Belle de loire’ 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.

Water Chelsea 2024 Collection- includes Salvia jamensis ‘Belle de loire’ 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.

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.

Seeds can be sown indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost, germinating at 18–22°C, and seedlings should be transplanted after the last frost. Clump-forming hardy salvias can be divided every 3–4 years in early spring or autumn.
Chelsea 2024 Collection- includes Salvia jamensis ‘Belle de loire’ moderately drought-tolerant once established, thriving in well-drained soil and full sun. Tender salvias are less drought-tolerant and require more consistent watering.
