Hello desertsage, If it were me I would plant it in the full sun garden. I am growing both plants here in Las Vegas at about 2200 ft elevation - even hotter I suspect than where you are. They are in full sun positions but on the east side of the house so eventually late in the afternoon they get some relief from the sun but not much. It's funny what you said about the more dead look in the summer being normal. I so get that. Our clevlandii is spectacular every spring a six foot wide mass of purple and blue candelabras but by now the flowers are dried and the plant looks dormant. I used to dead head imediately but I've grown to love the look of the dried calxys(sp) The apiana I grew from seed and planted out just last spring right next to the clevlandii but it is fine although still small in its hot spot after a brutal summer that wiped out all the greggiis I had. I think I'm going to have to add apiana to the short list of salvias that seem to like it here in the furnace. Maria

Dear Peplil, I think the word is surprised. The Angela tag says 1.2 m but I have a feeling that it could get taller here because it's such a grower. Towards the back of the gardenbed you can see the upright light green bush, the tallest of the lot already. I think it will need some hard pruning. Cathedral City - should be a bright orangey red. You know,tho it starts out red, I wonder if it really is the WIlliam Shakespeare and I've mixed them up ...it ages into dark red, has that strong rosey smell to it (I can't walk past it without smelling it but it does take an enclosed space to pick up on it) and it certainly has that David Austin look. I just love this flower. If I have swapped them it'll take a while to know it as the other rose has moulted its leaves completely twice due to blackspot and is on its third run now - that sounds even more David Austin like in behaviour LOL. As far as I know Cathedral City doesn't have a scent. I wonder.

I dream of the day I have enough land of my own to have a real garden! We are currently living in a small basement apartment, and I cannot alter the landscape. The neighborhood has tons of beautiful old growth trees, which means a lot of shade and I was worried. That was the problem I had at my last apartment...no sun. This year I REALLY wanted a garden so I bought a Suncalc to see if I had places that got enough sun...and I do! I'm super happy about it...even if I don't end up with a high yield...just being able to grow things makes me happy. h_nurmikko Gorgeous garden plot! Even if they were mislabled they look pretty and healthy! Seysonn_ 7b-WA/HZ1 Sey, nice and organized! Love it!
