Are salvias hardy plants?

Many perennial salvias are hardy but will need some winter protection, particularly in harsh weather or if you garden in a cold part of the country. Either use horticultural fleece or bring them under cover. In mild areas, a good mulch of organic matter over the base will protect plants. Tender salvias will need winter protection and are best brought under cover before the first frost.

Are salvias evergreen?

Most flowering salvias are semi-evergreen or deciduous. Culinary salvias, including sage and rosemary, are evergreen as are some shrubby salvias such as ‘greggi’ or ‘macrophylla’.
