Salvia Uliginosa Seeds
Does anyone know where I can get some Salvia Uliginosa Seeds. Neither
Chilterns nor any other major seller seems to do it. I have seen plants for sale but I would like to grow a quantity in a clump. Would be very grateful. Peter |

Peter Its still in full flower at the moment but it may set some seed by first frost, I will bear you in mind, but really its so easy from cuttings I do not think anyone bothers with seed. Cuttings taken in the spring will flower at the normal time in Summer. -- Charlie, gardening in Cornwall. http://www.roselandhouse.co.uk Holders of National Plant Collection of Clematis viticella (cvs) |

Peter Charlie and Bob - many thanks for your comment - I would be very grateful of any seed if you were to have some. To take cuttings, you need a mother plant, which is difficult to find up here in Yorkshire as I don't think it is hardy here. But I would still like to try. I saw this and some other beautiful plants ( especially tender salvias) at Colaton Fishacre in South Devon this summer. There are lots of plants I would like to try - are there specialist nurseries or seed suppliers for things like this that are a bit out of the ordinary. Thanks again Peter |

I had a few minutes in front of me and I found another forum specialising in salvia. It looks like a good place to find your speciality salvia. HTH http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/salvia/ |

Some of the things that grow at Coleton Fishacre are somewhat tender and we couldn't grow them here, only a few miles away. It's on the river so has some protection, as a result. However, we get S. involucrata and S. confertiflora through the winter so, if you want to try the various Salvias, Google Christine Yeo who has the National Collection of Salvias at Ipplepen, near Newton Abbot. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |
