Homeowner Growing & Maintenance Tips Salvia grows best in moist, fertile, well-drained soil. It needs at least 6 hours of sun a day for best results, and midday shade is beneficial. It is better to water once a week too deeply than to water frequently for only a few minutes. Occasional deadheading will promote continued flowering.
