How Long Will Salvia Blooms Last

Question From: NEW YORK
Q: Hi Nancy, my name is Felicity and live in South Africa. I planted a lot of Salvias for Christmas about three weeks ago. They are starting to get blooms now. Will they last until Christmans. What I am actually asking: once blooming, do they last for a few months? many thanks from sunny south africa!

A:

Salvias have very long bloom times and if dead headed - that is removing spent blooms, they will bloom for months, so you should have a colorful Christmas. Happy Yardening, Nancy
