salvia question
Do you know what kind of Blue Salvia it is? Has it bloomed so far this
year? I'm in 9a in Houston. Where are you? (you should see the salvias here now. From now to frost, they are stellar) http://www.celestialhabitats.com = Gloria wrote: = I have some blue salvia, should I deadhead it?

salvia question
I'm in NE Alabama, zone 7. The salvia was in full bloom when I planted it
about 2 weeks ago, got it at Lowe's. There was no identification tag on it. It's a nice size clump but most of the flower stalks are spent. I'm not seeing much new growth, and the spent stalks are falling over so I was wondering if I need to remove the spent flower stalks to encourage new blooms. Thanks for the great link!

salvia question
Absolutely, deadhead the spent stalks. Water moderately. Salvias are
generally water misers and love bright light. http://www.californiagardens.com/Lists/salvias.htm http://webs.lanset.com/pathline/salvias.htm http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/frames/n...enatur/pg6.htm JK Gloria wrote: = I'm in NE Alabama, zone 7.

salvia question
I have another saliva question. I planted some victoria blue last
year and miraculously the survived a minnesota winter with a thick covering of mulch (I mulched it only because I was mulching other plants around it. My garden plan has changed somewhat this year and now the salvia are near some roses which means that they will be getting runoff from the roses that will be watered frequently. I know Salvias are drought tolerant but will they do OK with regular watering? Would moving them be a good idea? mm "Gloria" wrote in message ... I have some blue salvia, should I deadhead it?
