The invention discloses a salviae miltiorrhizae planting method. The method comprises the steps of field selection and preparation, seedling transplantation, field management and pest and disease prevention. Field management further comprises defloration management and water and fertilizer management. During defloration management, inflorescences of salviae miltiorrhizae are sheared off in the morning, at noon and in the evening in the squaring stage, initial flowering stage and full-bloom stage. During water and fertilizer management, base fertilizer is applied during field preparation, wherein the base fertilizer comprises organic fertilizer 3000-5000 t/hm<2>; 50-80 kg/hm<2> potash fertilizer is applied in the 15-20 leaf stage; 40-60 kg/hm<2> potash fertilizer and 25-35 kg/hm<2> phosphate fertilizer are applied every 30 days in the flowering stage and fruiting stage from June to September. By the adoption of the method, vegetative growth and reproductive growth are strictly controlled in the salviae miltiorrhizae growing process, the probability of root splitting is reduced, growth of the phloem of salviae miltiorrhizae is promoted, accumulation of effective constituents of the roots of salviae miltiorrhizae is improved, and then the rhizome quality of salviae miltiorrhizae is improved.
