Dear All.... I left outside...all the winter my Salvinia natans..and even if the water was frozen several times..the Salvinia is still alive..it seams to me a wee bit strange... :eek: have anyone any info experiences..with Salvinia?? many thanks in advance for your interest.. CIAO!!
Hi lukus, I've not grown it myself, but I see from a search that it should be quite tender. I not sure but I dont think its well used in the UK, (could be wrong), but if its that hardy maybe we should be using it more, up to now my pond has only had a thin skim of ice on it for one morning.
Dear Pete...many thanks for your reply me too... I got info from a search..that Salvinia..it is not hardy..so my doubt. anyway..it is a very invasive plant..and if you will want same Salvinia in future let me know..and I will send "tons" of it to you.. I believe that Kent has a warmer climate compared with Piedmont...I'm nearly sure.. best regards from me..!!
We maybe slightly warmer in the winter perhaps lukus, but I would imagine your summers are warmer than ours.
In what way is invasive Lukus - by seed or root? Reason for my question, I just got a whole lot of salvia variety seeds from the RHS and natans was one of them. Haven't grown it before.
Hi Pete..you are right...concerning our summer!! and Fran... did you want say Salvinia..? anyway..because Salvinia is a fern...is invasive by spore...
Duh, my abject apologies - read Salvia Natans, and not Salvinia Natans. Prolly cos I was planting the seeds Salvia Natans earlier in the day. Sorry - for any confusion.
Dear Fran..do not worry.. :D but I never "met" Salvia natans before, could you please give me some info concerning this Salvia...I also tried to get info from internet..but I got no results many thanks in advance for your reply..!! a very friendly ..Ciao!
