    In south central Wisconsin, we pot up the Black And Blue salvias and over winter in our east facing window well. I cover the plastic window well cover with an opaque heavy plastic sheet that reduces the light, and this method will yield a large plant ready to go when the weather warms in March/April. Removing the opaque sheet and letting the light in will jumpstart the plant, and by mid to late April, it is time to harden off the new growth that is a foot and a half tall. I will probably prune back at this time, as the new growth could be less spindly. Very happy with this method!

      Wow, that is great. I am going to have to try and rig something up. I have a brick wall that overwintered a Canna Lily and that wasn't supposed to happen. I need to try it.

    0:18 0:20 we bought black and bloom giant salvia last year and this year it bloomed when it was 5-6feet tall. Can you cut them halfway back to about 2 1/2 feet? And it bloom again.?

      Ordinarily, salvia can be cut back after first bloom, so I don't see any reason that this B&B would be any different. I may try that on mine.

    Thank you for this video. Do you ever fertilize it? If so, what type of fertilizer do you recommend?

      Yes I do! I like the Osmocote time release about twice a season.

    Thanks. I have been deadheading a lot, but do you fertilize with either Miraclegro or a bloom booster high middle number for your container salvias? I have lots of new varieties this year in containers.

      I just fertilize with a regular plant food. Only occasionally have I used bloom booster ( but I really think it may just be for "marketing.")
