Hi all
The Salvias are rather underused here in SA compared to elsewhere. I am
rather confused as to which ones to best go for though. Would anyone be
prepared to make any recommendations as to what would be the 10 best to try.
? I'm in a frostfree winter with about 550mm rain & hot, dry summer. Frost
hardiness is therefore not a factor, but wind damage is.
I have S.leucantha flowering magnificently at the moment & also grow the
S.involucrata, which does well for me, & the S.farinacea varieties, which I
find very prone to mildew & short lived.
Any recommendations appreciated.
