The Scarlet sage can't stand cold weather, therefore in general it should be grown in a sheltered place; during the Spring months, when the minimum temperatures are above zero, it can be moved outside. These plants shouldn't be grown in the garden during the cold period; in autumn the plants usually perish, and should be eradicated from the ground.The Scarlet sage should be preferably located in a place where it can have at least a few hours a day of direct solar light.

Cultivation Scarlet sage
These plants have a one or two year development. This plant in the spring, summer, autumn, winter assumes a red colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 30 cm high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter. The Scarlet sage has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much.

Fertilize Scarlet sage
Before placing the annuals, let’s enrich the soil with a small dose of organic fertilizer or slow release granular chemical fertilizer; during the spring we should use a specific fertilizer for flowering plants to be mixed with the irrigating water, to be used every 20-30 days.

Water Scarlet sageTenere asciutto
Let's water abundantly, moistening the soil deeply with 2-3 glasses of water , but let's act only when the substratum is dry, leaving it dry even for 1-2 weeks before watering it. As the cold weather arrives, in autumn, we can interrupt watering, and let the plants perish.

Pests Scarlet sage
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.

Mold Scarlet sage
