SUPER SALVIA'S - 2015

Thanks, that sounds about right. Every part of the garden in the summer receives sun for at least 1 - 2 hours. Just some areas only get that. I might give Wendy's wish a shot and see what happens.

 

These do prefer sun but will be ok in light shade, so depends on how shady the area is

East Friesland

 

Probably hardy in London too.
It's readily available and a percentage of the price goes to the Make A Wish Foundation too.

 

Ooh, I love that! It looks so alien Argh, too many great plants, too little space :D

 

The first of my Salvia to bloom this year is S.gesneriiflora...............

 

Salvia algeriensis (grown from seed this year).....................


Not big flowers I'll cut it back when these few are done and let it take off over the summer.

 

re ROYAL BUMBLE
Now that's odd Keith. I sowed 6 and got only 3. I gave 3 to a friend and she had none at all. I've given her one of my seedlings now,
@Lolimac - did any of yours germinate?

No show here Jenny...

 

That's a pig wig poohs Loli,
Jenny

 

And I'm plagued with his seedlings

I must admit that the germination of my own S.microphylla and S.gregii seeds has been lower.

 

I've just cut my shrubby Salvias back to some reasonably strong new growth, much like a Fuchsia really.

 

They're herbaceous and that's normal. Looks as if I've lost Wendys Wish though

 

The three Salvias I've been obsessing over arrived yesterday. Overjoyed with the quality.

 

What did you get?
