Tidal Pool Salvia is an improved variety with calming blue flowers blooming from late spring to fall nonstop. The compact form and dense branching habit make it a great Salvia for the front of a garden border or container plantings. Salvia is a strong pollinator attractor and a food source for hummingbirds and butterflies. Tidal Pool is heavily scented and should be placed near pathways or patios to be enjoyed all season long.
Salvia is a very deer- and disease-resistant plant. Slugs and snails aren't even a bother for the pointed oval foliage. The flower spikes make lovely fresh-cut flowers and are easily dried for wintertime wreaths and displays. Tidal Pool Salvia has a naturally branching habit requiring little pruning or pinching, making this perennial low maintenance and attractive.
Tidal Pool Salvia Care
Plant Tidal Pool in a full to partial sun position that has well-draining soil. Soil texture can be anything from heavy clay to sandy as long as the drainage is good. Salvia is a drought-tolerant plant and excellent for water-wise planting schemes, although blooming will be more profuse when it is watered regularly. Fertilize Tidal Pool in early spring with a granular, slow-release formulation for flowering plants. The ratio of NPK should approach 1-4-2.
Deadheading will keep Tidal Pool looking tidy and encourage more flower spikes through the summer. Cut back flowering stems to a set of leaves. The whole plant can be cut back by half in midsummer if it has stopped blooming. This rejuvenation pruning will spark fresh new growth and a second flush of blooms for late summer and fall. Late fall or early spring is a perfect time for cleaning up the previous season’s top growth. At the same time, mulch with 2-3 inches of organic compost, shredded leaves, or arborist chips to help the soil retain moisture.
Tidal Pool Salvia Spacing
The mature height for Tidal Pool Salvia is 18-20 inches with a spread of 20-22 inches. Space plants 18 inches apart on the center to provide adequate air circulation.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
