Comments (24)Thanks Jeri. Yes, I have both Louise Philippe and Cramoisi Superior, as well as a couple of other red chinas and they are all clean.Well, less than 10% leaf drop.As a matter of fact, Louise Philippe is full of more buds than I can ever remember and promises to have a spectacular first flush. I say this with fingers crossed, since we are supposed to get a late frost tonight. I guess what I am looking for is something darker than the chinas, which all seem to be a medium red, what I think of as an antique red. I would really love a deep purple that would stay reasonably clean....See MoreMamas4boys - Butterfly plant suggestions for zone7b - photo heavy
Comments (1)Hello, Just wanted to butt in and say that I have plenty of seeds for the orange milkweed or butterflyweed, and I have lots of seed pods forming as we speak. I also have many volunteer baby Rue plants that could probably be mailed in a pinch. I haven't checked for seeds of the Rue, because I have so much already growing. Unfortunately, I have yet to see any Giant Swallowtail action, despite having every host plant it is known to frequent. I also have seeds for two other varieties of milkweed, A. incarnata (swamp) and one called "Red" by Seed Saver's Exchange. If you're looking for seeds, try the wintersowing forum--also an excellent way to get multiple plants started inexpensively and very reliably. I could certainly send you a care package to get you started. Let me know. Martha...See Morezone 7B overwintering question
Comments (6)Van Houtti has never been hardy for me, although I'm a half or a full zone colder. Guarantica will probably come back for you, locally Black & Blue and Argentina Skies usually overwinter. I've got a bunch of Mexicana Limelight out in the garden about to bloom - finally. I don't believe they are hardy, so I've taken cuttings. Salvia coccinea is not hardy. They are self seeding, but don't sprout until the ground is thoroughly warmed up. For that reason I start a batch in late winter indoors. Lastly, I'd love to know how you make out with Darcyi. That's one I want to try next year and I'm as uncertain as you are. Check out A World of Salvias, there may be some mention of its hardiness there....See MoreAlisha K
