Yes far more like it.......have found a seller for Salvias on Ebay, a very good selection, have you bought any Kathy?

I hadn't looked for salvia plants on ebay just seeds but I have now ;-),is it the seller who's offering free postage if you buy more than 3 plants? as they have some very nice ones, I've added to my favourites for next year I've just spent far to much on ebay on tattered lace cutting dies for my Christmas cards oooops :-)

On my to grow list too!

Go to Ebay.com.au and search for "Salvialicious". This is Annette Bax who is a well known Salvia fanatic and she offers a tremendous range of seeds. Really recommended, excellent service and good seed.

Typically I planted this one out and am now trying to decide whether it's hardy enough mmmm might dig it up.
Thanks for that link Meanie I'll have a look later :-)

Robins Salvias reckon that it's hardy..............

I thought I'd read somewhere it was!!!!! but when I googled the other day, can't remember what site, it said not, think Robin should know so I'll leave it out then, thanks Meanie :-)

I had a look at the ebay seller you recommended oh wow!!! I have so many in my basket lol, can't see what the postage is to the UK though is it the same charge $1 everywhere ?seems very cheap from Australia, how long do they take to arrive ? , sorry for all the questions never bought from that far afield :-)

Word of caution - make sure that the ones in your basket are not winter bloomers. Many of the Mexican ones are. I use Robin as a guide.
Just checked and the postage was £2.45. They took about ten days as I recall.
Got a packet of freebies too.

Thanks for the info Meanie, much appreciated :-)
I never thought to check that!! that'll probably make my list a bit shorter lol :-)
