RE: Re: Pam's new pix .../hardy hibs NOW Black & BlueSalvia

Marge, not Zem - whoops, sorry - accidentally hit 'send' while reaching
for the phone.

As I was about to say - I've been growing B&B for about 4 years and
agree that it's reliably hardy in my Zone 7.  I haven't seen any seeding
but it does spread underground.  I have to keep it in bounds by spading
out each year what I don't want.

Well, Zem, that is heartening despite it not being reliable for
Chris...What's it do?  seed around?
