Planting

For best results, ensure that the soil is well-draining and has a slightly alkaline to neutral pH for Salvia nemorosa 'Apex Blue'. You can improve drainage and fertility of heavy or compacted soil by amending it with organic matter, such as compost. Plant in spring or fall, digging a hole slightly larger than the root ball and placing the plant so that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Gently firm the soil around the plant and water thoroughly after planting to settle it. For proper spacing, plant Salvia nemorosa 'Apex Blue' 12-18 inches apart, as they can spread and fill in over time. During the first growing season, regularly water newly planted Salvia nemorosa 'Apex Blue' to maintain even moisture levels. Once established, these plants are relatively drought-tolerant and only need watering during dry spells.
