BTW, did you know that Christine Yeo is giving up opening to the public?
I
think she's going to go on breeding and raising plants, though.


Her books are very useful but the Internet Salvia newsgroup was always
WAY above my head

I like "Desert Blaze" I think a macrophylla. Blue Enigma is lovely but
died with me over damp winters.

I have had Salvia uliginosa flowering for about 2 months this year, it's
superb and creates a filmy screen like Verbena bon. It's really growing
very well and is still covered in wonderful intense blue flowers.

I have tried many times to get Salvia uliginosa through the winter (with all
my gardening friends expressing surprise I can not!) then last year the
gutter above it blocked and it spent a good part of the winter either
submerged or saturated and as you have probably guessed its been great since
June :~) I am trying it in a few more places as its certainly a star if it
grows well.
