I recently had problems with one of my Blosser Mothers. It was in a 3 gallon Pot and started to outgrow the pot. i waited a bit to long to transplant and entire sections of it started to droop really bad. I thought it was a goner. So I took lots of cuttings and transplanted her into the ground. Well, after a few days recovering it's just now coming back to life and doing alright. I believe the problem was it had no space.

I don;t know if that was a usual sign of being root bound because it's never happened to me before or since. I've just noticed that the more space I give them the larger and fatter they become quick. I've heard if your not careful Salvia can take over your yard pretty quick and strangle out the other plants. They are real root hogs

I had one plant last year that got completely rootbound and started to die, I completely cut it up into clones leaving the roots and just the stalk in my "boneyard" of pots over the winter.  I know anyone who's grown salvia will probably think I'm lying, but after a zone 8 winter with prob. a week of snow the rootstalk came back in the spring, and it's ~2 foot tall right now!
P.S. I just repotted it today, because that's about how big it was when it started dying off last year.

It was weird how my blosser Salvia started to die from growth shoot to growth shoot. I didn't know what was causing it. My Wasson and Hoffman that I had in the ground was fine. It's quite a monster now. I noticed that the Blosser had fallen over and ripped from many of it's roots. That seemed to be the culprit. Once I did what you did and cut it up from every drooping growth shoot and put them in dirt and humidity bags. All of the cuttings perked back up.

Here's a Pic of my butchered blosser Salvia. I have it planted in the ground and staked so that it can grow it's roots back. At first it was drooping really bad recovering slowly. I had to spray it allot since it's so dry out here. It's doing alright now. I've noticed that the Blosser strain grows much slower than Wasson and Hoffman.

This was taken 4 days ago. About a week after chopping it up for cuttings




Her's a pic of the Blosser today. After almost 2 weeks of building it's roots back and recovering. It seems to be coming back to life.





here's Wasson and Hoffman.




See the difference. I should of initially put the Blosser in the ground just as I did the Wasson and Hoffman. The unlimited Root space definitely makes a difference. The only one's I keep in pots are my cuttings. if you live in colder climates. Keep them in the ground during the summer and repot for winter to bring inside or at least choose a 7.5-10 gallon pot. I'm starting a small Salvia orchard. I just have to get some good shade cloth. Notice how the tops of mine are getting burnt. It's growing to fast it keeps growing past the shade protection I have set up.

The point the more rootspace the bigger your Salvia will get. If you have just a 3 gallon pot it's gonna get rootbound and die pretty quick. The bigger the pot the safer you are.
