Know before you buy
This plant requires full sun, which means at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight per day. Providing this amount of light is essential for maintaining its compact habit and ensuring a prolific display of violet and white blooms.
Yes, Salvia 'Azure Snow' is considered deer resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof, the aromatic foliage of this perennial is generally unappealing to deer and rabbits.
It is perfectly suited for both. Because it grows to a manageable size of 18 to 20 inches, it works beautifully in containers, provided you use a well-draining potting mix and a pot with adequate drainage holes.
For the best results, space your plants 16 to 18 inches apart. This spacing allows for proper air circulation, which helps keep the foliage healthy and prevents overcrowding as the plants reach their mature spread.
No, it is quite drought-tolerant once established. While you should keep it well-watered during its first season to help it settle in, it will require minimal supplemental irrigation thereafter, provided the soil has good drainage.
