May is the perfect time to grow salvias in much of the U.S. As spring settles in and temperatures warm, these plants really start to wake up, pushing out fresh, vigorous growth. It’s a good moment to cut back any winter-damaged stems, lightly shape the plant, and let it build a strong, healthy framework.
In many regions, especially USDA zones 7–10, this kind of care in May pays off quickly, setting salvias up for a long, steady season of flowering.
