anybody got Yvonne's salvia seeds to share or trade?
Comments (5)Ellenrr, I do not have any of Yvonne's, but- If you want to add more red to your collection of Salvias, I have 'Lady in Red' and a tall red Salvia splendens without a cultivar name. But the info I have on that one is that it grows 1-3ft tall. Just give me a holler if you would like them. Steff...See MoreYvonne's Salvia question for Token/Tom
Comments (12)I wintersow and allow reseeds to grow and transplant them where I want them. You just have to wait until most of the frost has passed to wintersow them. And mulch around where the plants were to get reseeds. They don't like cold at all. And not all the seeds ripen. I probably sowed 50+ seeds, I got 30 plants. I sowed twice since the first batch was hit by some cold and just never took off. My latest batch has been repotted to give them time to grow since the slugs seem to love them....See MoreNo more interest in Yvonne's Salvia seeds?
Comments (32)Hi Karen I just wanted to say thanks for sharing with me last spring, I so enjoyed them, and I did see my one lonely hummer enjoying them too...I saved some seed to enjoy for this season... Maybe you were soo generous last season everyone is already enjoying them ?? LOL Mine bloomed right till a hard frost..they were the last plant to give in to the cold......See MoreYvonne's Salvia pest
Comments (3)I use hot pepper flakes around plants I don't want destroyed. It might not be the nicest thing to do but at least I am not killing them by using rat poison....See Moreretiredprof
