## Salvia Types in November
Salvias need different care in November based on hardiness and climate.
## Mulch All Salvias
Apply 2-4 inches of organic mulch to protect roots from frost and retain moisture.
## Cover Tender Salvias
Use frost cloth or move tender salvias indoors to protect them from freezing temperatures.
## Move Potted Salvias
Group potted salvias against walls or fences to create a warmer microclimate for winter.
## Trim For Health
Remove dead, diseased material and clear debris to prevent spring infections.
## Salvia Types
Hardy salvias need minimal care, while tender varieties require extra protection.
## Salvia Examples
Salvia nemorosa 'Marcus' is cold hardy down to zone 4.
## What to Shop
Plant spring bulbs and bare-root shrubs if soil isn't frozen or waterlogged.
## Key takeaway

Mulch, cover tender salvias, move potted plants, and trim diseased growth to ensure healthy spring blooms.
