Marcella, this site lists all the species of Salvias/Sages and tells the hardiness zone for each - there are a few for your zone. Here is a link that might be useful: Hardiness zones for Salvias/Sages

What type of lilies are they? Do they have bulbs with scales like an Easter lily? I'd probably wait until the end of the season when you can cut them back. You don't want to cut the foliage until it's begun to yellow. If they have scaley bulbs you can propagate them easily by single scales. If you really need to mail them now I'd either send them potted which wil be expensive or maybe you can wrap the bulb and roots in lightly moistened sphagnum but I'm not sure if they'll still bloom or not. If they haven't started developing buds yet there's a better chance. If the buds have already formed they might abort.

Hi Lora, There are no reblooming or continuous blooming lilies but some have more buds and hence a longer bloom time. Trumpet lilies are good for that. As Lainey's list indicates, the progression is, Asiatic - Trumpets -Orientals. There is a spread within each group. There are also hybrids between these groups that fill in the gaps. The Lily Garden has a link for "bloom times" that will bring up a long list of lilies. But exact times vary with location and garden conditions. Oriental and Trumpet lilies do better in part sun (4 or more hours of direct sun) than partial shade. They will grow in shade but with a reduced bud count. Later blooming lilies won't leave bare spots in your garden like the Asiatics (since their foliage doesn't yellow until late), but lilies like to have cool roots and sunny buds and so shading by lower growing plants is good. I plant annuals among my lilies. They don't have deep roots systems and since they die at the end of the season I can add or move lilies without constraint. Some of my combinations: Lilium Speciosum "Rubrum" and Hybrid Oriental "Stargazer" Lilium Speciosum is the latest Oriental (August - early September). It comes in a speckled pink called "Rubrum" and a white form Speciosum "Album". It's a species lily with a smaller more recurved bloom but otherwise similar to the hybrids. I interplant Rubrum with Stargazer which blooms early August and has a similar color (Rubrum is one of its "parents"). This extends the season in that bed. You could interplant "Album" with a white Oriental such as Casablanca to do the same thing. "Elegant Lady" with Oriental Hybrid "Aruba" Elegant Lady is a Longiflorum Oriental hybrid but maybe because its 3/4's longiflorum, it looks more like an easter lily than other LO hybrids I've seen. It has the most beautiful pearl pink color with an easter lily shape and a "tropical" scent very different from the Orientals. It's an early to mid June bloomer (mine started June 1 and will be finishing up soon) and is a moderate size (about 3 1/2 feet). Behind it I have a tall Oriental "Aruba" which is over 5 feet which blooms in mid July for me. It has very large pale pink (unspeckled blooms) carried well above the Elegant Lady foliage. I also have less organized combinations of trumpets, species, and orientals, squeezed in wherever I can get them to grow well (my yard has a lot of shade). Since lilies can grow in non-ideal spots without dieing straight up - you can experiment and move them around if they're not working for you in one spot. -Helen Here is a link that might be useful: bloom times

Thanks for the posts guys! I was just going off Lilly Pilly originally as that's what my neighbour thought it was. I'll definitely do some research on Viburnum odoratissimum now. Thanks again :)
