Salvia Sallyfun Blue Lagoon, also known as Salvia farinacea or Mealycup Sage, is an annual landscape flower native to Texas and New Mexico. This variety has an upright, mounding habit of 14-20" tall and 10-14" wide, with tall, uniform blue-purple flower spikes in spring and summer. Best grown as an annual in all zones, Mealycup Sage flourishes in full sun with minimal water, attracting pollinators to patio containers, borders, rock gardens, and xeriscapes. This plant is heat tolerant and low-maintenance. For a cold-hardy variety, try Salvia May Night.

General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Salvia Sallyfun Blue Lagoon, plant one rooted liner per 4- or 6-inch container and three per 10-inch container. Use well-drained soil with a pH of 5.8-6.2, EC of 1.2-1.5, temperatures of 68-72, and light feed (100-150 ppm N). Pinch once, 7-14 days after transplanting, and use a Daminozide spray and Paclobutrazol drench to regulate growth. You may see whiteflies, aphids, thrips, and spider mites. Botrytis and root rot can occur in wet, humid conditions.

Blue flower spikes bloom from spring through summer.
Pinching
Pinch once, 7-14 days after transplanting.
Spacing
Space containers for adequate airflow and sunlight penetration around the base of each plant.
Height Control
Apply a Daminozide spray at 2,500 ppm weekly as needed. Use a Paclobutrazol drench at 1-2 ppm at bud initiation.
Pests
You may see whiteflies, aphids, thrips, and spider mites.
Disease
This plant can develop root rot and botrytis in overly wet conditions. Use a preventative fungicide drench at transplant. Take these preventative measures in your greenhouse:
1. Water at the base of each plant in the morning, allowing the soil to dry between waterings.
2. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse. We recommend using horizontal airflow fans.
3. Space containers so sunlight can reach the soil level of each plant.
Planting Salvia Sallyfun Blue Lagoon Liners
We recommend planting one rooted plug per 4- or 6-inch container and three per 10-inch container. Use a well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center of or evenly spaced in the container.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
