Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

:) No pictures but Salvia Guaranica is a beauty if you like strong blues.

I grow a bunch of different ones, but unfortunately don't have photos. I have red and white Tropical sage, Guarantica "Black and Blue", an unusual pink and white one, Pineapple salvia, a really large growing red bushy salvia whose name escapes me, and the usual large growing purple ones. All the salvias are bee and butterfly magnets which is why I have massive amounts of them planted out by the road.

I love the colors of salvia, but I also plant them because the hummingbirds love them as much as I do :D

Salvia & Shade

Post by Ianmc » Wed Feb 01, 2006 3:47 pm

Our Salvia Guarantica was very late flowering this summer.Reason overhead shade from adjacent Cordyline and Grevillea.After pruning back finally flowered 5 weeks later than last year.
Motto:If plant prefers sunny aspect watch overhead plants!
Cheers:Ian Mc
