Salvia 'Waverly' is a perennial shrub that reaches 3'-5' tall and wide. It needs full sun and medium amount of water.

Soils and Compost:
Maintain a two to four inch layer of mulch on the soil surface to reduce weeds, infiltrate rain water, and reduce compaction.
Water Saving Tip:
Check your irrigation system for breaks, leaks and problems once a month.
Integrated Pest Management:
Drip and other smart irrigation delivers water directly to roots, allowing no excess water for weeds.
