Re: salvia corrugata
Hello,
Funny you should ask that question, Susan. Only last weekend at the country
garden, I trimmed it quite heavily and am now keeping my fingers crossed. I
wouldn't stake my life on it but it seems to have been in bloom for 12 months
now but had got very straggly so I was unable to wait for it to stop being in
flower. There were a couple of dead shoots too but new ones coming up so I was
probably too heavy handed on the old ones.
An almost unique shade of blue, isn't it? Will let you know what happens in
the next month,
regards, Gay
