When Should My Salvia Hot Lips Show New Growth

Question

it’s not showing any sign of life

Answer 1

'Hot Lips' Salvia is only hardy in zones 7 to 9 and is often treated as an annual. Your salvia should be growing by now. I would say it succumbed to winter. If you have dry winters, it is important to water your perennials about once a month.
