We are trying out 12 New-to-Us Salvias this summer, and we would love you to tell us how they do!

The varieties are: African Sky; Amante; Blue Merced; California Sunset; Christine Yeo; Dyson’s Maroon; guaranitica Super Trouper; Javier; Peter Vidgeon; Phyllis Fancy; Pink Pong; Walsingham White.

They are available for general sale, and for 100 points each for Flourish members

What we would like to know:

• Did the plant grow well overall?
  

 

• Did it flower well; did it have a long flowering period?

 

• Did the plant have a strong, neat shape, or did it sprawl, need staking or generally look misshapen?

 

• Did it stay healthy, or were there any issues with pests or diseases?

 

• Did it attract many pollinating insects?
  

 

• Did it survive the winter?

 

• Would you recommend it and/or buy it?

It's also helpful for us to know in how sunny a site you grew the plant, the type of soil, if you have had experience with Salvias before, and how experienced and confident you would consider yourself as a gardener - we are as keen to hear from the beginners as we are the experts!
