Maintenance Tips for Salvia nemorosa 'Blue Bouquetta'

To ensure your Salvia nemorosa 'Blue Bouquetta' thrives and continues to bloom vigorously, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Deadheading: Remove spent flower spikes promptly to encourage continuous blooming and to maintain a tidy appearance.
• Pruning: Cut back the entire plant by about one-third after flowering to promote new growth and to rejuvenate the plant for the next blooming cycle.
• Dividing: Every few years, divide overcrowded clumps in early spring to rejuvenate the plant and maintain its vigor.
