Salvia "Black and Blue"

Now this we can grow.....

Hallelujah! Bonus that it's one of the best Salvia too!

Really.....better not move it then!!

This is a nice one , Haven't the Salvias done well this year , I'm still waiting for some to flower from the seeds you sent me Keith theres plenty of foliage I'm hoping there's still time this year if not its a long wait until next year ...

Most of them have Amy. I'm still waiting on a few though. Google Salvia leucantha.............

Done that ! it's a nice one I like white .. Meanie I have S. Hot lips which so far is all white ,No red hot lips !!

Sounds as if it has reverted back to one of the parents. I've heard of a couple doing that this year. I had one at my old house and it went all red.

Mmm . I'll keep an eye on it to see if the whole plant stays white or is a mixture when the rest bloom ...

Amy ours started the season as it should with the red lips, but now it is white!!

I've noticed several this week that have gone one way or the other too.

Just cleared our herb bed, and taken out Salvia Black and Blue, Oh has taken some cuttings!! I had no idea they grew huge tubers just like Dahlias, but rock hard!! is this how they all grow?....as you can tell I know nothing about Salvias, other than Sage which has a normal root system....

There are 900+ species of Salvia and they have all manner of roots. There are a number of tuberous rooted Salvia, this and S.patens being the most common.
Black and Blue also sends out root runners and is easily propagated by these.

Thanks for that......
