I'm in Fl and grow Black n Bloom salvia. My very favorite and comes back every year. Covered in bloom all year right up to Nov. Restarts early here in March.
I just got into gardening and I truly enjoy your videos. I love how informative you are and the calmness. I just bought some may night salvias and I hope they thrive
I bought a hot lips last year that survived the winter in a pot. Now that I'm starting my true garden I'll be using several more salvias, as it will be bee and hummingbird friendly. I know just what to do with the May Knights! Thanks for presenting so much PNW-centric plant info, no one else seems to, not like you have. I'm in SW Washington, and have been dreaming of getting my place up and running for 18 years. It's time!
Definitely time ! Hope last yr was a success. I’m in Northern Calif’ hills & have lots of deer. They don’t like Salvia tho they will eat anything if hunger enough. Needless to say I sneak them food during spring .🥰
What a lovely and informative video. I just purchased my first purple salvia and have a crimson salvia from last season that is blooming white this year! Subscribed!
I’m adore the salvia family. We are in windy, NE Colorado and have grasshopper invasions. They eat them up. Living on the plains of Colorado is a real challenge to create a beautiful yard.
Just have to say that it is May night as a European who has visited Karl Foerster's garden the German man who bred it blooms in May just outside of Berlin So not Knights but night in May. but it is surely a good plant, thank you!
Wow what a difference a year makes! I'm just getting back into Salvias this year(6/2020), and although i live in the S.E. you gave me some helpful information. Love your garden!
Hello from Portland, Or. I just discovered your channel today, very informative. I love love salvias. I have 2 different varieties in my front garden & enjoy watching the bees & hummers play in them. Looking forward to watching all your previous and upcoming videos. Stay safe!
My favorite plants last year were salvias. I think they were called skyscraper red and orange. I'm growing both anual and perennial salvias from seed this year, but if I find those plants I'm getting them.
Thanks again for letting us know what grows well in the PNW. Your yard is so lovely, reminds me of where I grew up. Congratulations on hitting 10,000 subs!! Take care! 🌷
I'd like to know about pruning salvias and sage. The 6 perennials i bought last summer have survived our winter, but they look a bit like they need trimming up. I look forward to what you have to share.
You showed three quite different forms of salvia. S.' Hot lips' is a variety of Salvia Jamensis, which is a bushy sub-shrub and relatively hardy. Meanwhile S.' Black and Blue' is a variety of Salvia Guaranitica, which has hollow stems, is much more tender perennial, and will die back down to the ground in winter. It may survive several years if well mulched. Your first salvia I think was again a completely different form, probably one of the comparatively hardy S. Nemorosa varieties? It would be good to be told of the horticultural names because the names of many varieties in USA may not be available in UK or have been given a different name. And of course the pruning regimes are all quite different too.
Wow! Congratulations on hitting 10k subscribers! I live in Kennett Square in SE Pennsylvania (about 2 miles from Longwood Gardens!), so not at all a PNW-type climate, but my husband grew up in Spokane (WA) and Portland (OR) and I'm always looking for ways to incorporate the NW into my garden for him! I really enjoy your videos and appreciate all your info! 😊
Hi thankyou for your videos love gardening were about to go into winter here in Australia so not sure salvias will survive But i will cover them to protect them from frosts as this my first-ever winter with this gardening. Hugs God Bless take care Carolyn xo
Thank you for sharing these lovely salvia’s and your beautiful garden’s. Those frogs are adorable! Just found you and have subscribed. Going to review your previous videos now lol.
Yes, I just discovered the Black Knight Salvia. I just planted 5 small plants but I need more because they are so small. I wonder how fast they grow in one season.
Beautiful flowers! What is the name of the first pink group of flowers after the reclining stone frog in your video? Have been searching for this childhood flower
That is a gorgeous bush in the background and I'm guessing it's a rhododendron! I didn't realize this... I'm a retired teacher and I used to tell my students I learn something new everyday! This proves but that's saying is true. And now that I think of it coleus has Square stems and I think they are in the mint family. Thank you for teaching me something new today. And I hope people will come to my new TH-cam channel Kathleen Murphy you plug in the word coleus orchids houseplants phalaenopsis in the TH-cam search engine to find me. I have a video of my coleus collection that is huge and most of it came from about 5 mother's plants and cuttings that I took over the winter and spring. Also I grow some from seed but that isn't the focus of my video. I'm going to do one soon on my 5 Gardenia plants that are actually true and this is the third summer for some II summer for sure others I love them and I'm so happy I discovered I could overwinter them
I purchased Sage Salvia which said they could take some shade. Last year was their first year and the foliage came up beautifully. Unfortunately I did not have flowers all season. They got tall and dripped, so I staked them. Considering digging them up. Do you advise that? In a spot surrounded by impatiens, Hosta and ferns.
I loved how you compared salvias with workhorses )) I've just got Salvia Mysty. It's the only one available in my local garden centre. I'm in a temperate climate. Would I be able to grow it as a perennial if I mulch the base heavily to help it overwinter? Thank you.
TFS this video with us and some of your beautiful gardens...just bought 3 "East Freisland" salvia today for our zone 5b garden in CNY...congrats on 10,000 subbies...i have learned so much from your videos and the reach is wide...please keep the videos coming!
Thank you for talking about salvia. I have been wanting some but was not sure which ones. Now I know. Your yard is gorgeous and I love love love the frogs 😍 What is the name of the rhododendron behind you in the video?
I love your videos and find them very helpful. I am a new gardener and planted some pink salvia this past fall. They bloomed great but flopped and layed on the ground instead of standing up. What did I do wrong? I am a zone 9. Thanks for any tips.
Great video. My May night Salvia is getting woody with less blooms. I prune it but haven't divided it for over 7 years. Should I replace I or divide it? Does Salvia have lifetime ?
Coleen Herrick Don’t water or fertilize too much as it can make for top heavy growth . They prefer to dry between rains or watering . Good drainage is important
Enjoyed your salvia video, almost a year after you did it; May 21, 2020! I'm in zone 8, southern New Mexico, high desert; quite a bit different from your NW location. Love your lush green! Our new salvia garden should do fine as perennials. Looking forward to seeing your videos often 😊
Salvia gregii (cherry sage, Autumn sage) and salvia microphilla is very tolerant of heavy soil. Mine thrive in pure clay here in Albuquerque, New Mexico (zone 7b). They even seed here and there. My neighbor grows"Hot lips" in zone 7b with no trouble. It comes back year after year.
My salvia is drooping over. I forget what species of salvia it is. i think it may be the May Night. Am I not pruning back far enough or is it planted too high? I live in SE Michigan
I have two or three different varieties of salvias in my garden. They all seem to get raggedy and brown/yellow at the bottom of the plants when they bloom or afterward. What do you think is causing this? Thank you
After the first bloom they are hungry and tired. Give them a trim and a light feeding and they will spring to life. Real important watering is consistent during hot weather or they will drop leaves. :)
Hello old friend, as soon as I heard your voice, a smile came to my face. Thank you for helping me take care of my Salvia's. Thank you!
I love them too cuz the DEER DON’T. 🦌😝🌿 They may nibble but they won’t eat it down to the root😃👵🏻

Love hearing about all those workhorse perennials that give us those beautiful flowers all summer long thank you!!!

Oh, before I forget, the music is wonderful.
Just have to say that it is May night as a European who has visited Karl Foerster's garden the German man who bred it blooms in May just outside of Berlin So not Knights but night in May. but it is surely a good plant, thank you!

Thanks for the great videos!
Very informative. Thank you I live in Massachusetts and I'm going to look for the Salvia May nights. Take care
Thankyou for sharing your knowledge, and beautiful garden.
My hummingbird loves black and blue salvia
Black and Bloom Salvia is a hummingbird magnet for sure here in Georgia .
We call the Melius “bastard balm”. The clump increases in size year after year
Congratulations on your 10,000 subscribers!
I have the same corn flowers, they are so cute 💙

Salvias are godly 👌😂😂😂
What kind of Rhododendron behind you is? Still blooming, so beautiful!

They are definitely in the wrong spot. Move them so they get at least 5 hours of sun. 😊
I have the wish variety & I love it
I loved how you compared salvias with workhorses )) I've just got Salvia Mysty. It's the only one available in my local garden centre. I'm in a temperate climate. Would I be able to grow it as a perennial if I mulch the base heavily to help it overwinter? Thank you.
Love the plant behind you with beautiful flowers. Could please tell me what kind ? Thank you !
Rhododendron Peach Parfait. One of my favorites! :)
@@GardenStylenw Thank you!
Great info.... Thank you! 💚💚💚✌️
Congrats on the subscriptions.
TFS this video with us and some of your beautiful gardens...just bought 3 "East Freisland" salvia today for our zone 5b garden in CNY...congrats on 10,000 subbies...i have learned so much from your videos and the reach is wide...please keep the videos coming!
Thank you for talking about salvia. I have been wanting some but was not sure which ones. Now I know. Your yard is gorgeous and I love love love the frogs 😍 What is the name of the rhododendron behind you in the video?
Sonnet blush it's 25 years old. My favorite!
I think I will give salvias another try. Do they do well in a large container?
Yes!
I love your videos and find them very helpful. I am a new gardener and planted some pink salvia this past fall. They bloomed great but flopped and layed on the ground instead of standing up. What did I do wrong? I am a zone 9. Thanks for any tips.
Could be cloudy days causing them to stretch or too much water. Trim them back and the will come back sturdier and bloom again. :)
Thank you!
Great video. My May night Salvia is getting woody with less blooms. I prune it but haven't divided it for over 7 years. Should I replace I or divide it? Does Salvia have lifetime ?
You could try dividing it to increase vigor.
@@GardenStylenw Thank you.
Love your garden 💕🌸💕
What were the big bright red bushes in your yard, at 16:29?Gorgeous.
Those are Hino crimson azaleas!
Thank you
I would like to know the name of those big bright red plants too.
Can you tell me what is growing behind you, it's beautiful.?
Rhododendron
@@GardenStylenw 😉
I loved this video, thank you
Great content! My Salvia is tall and falling over. Should I trim the beautiful blooms all the way back?
Coleen Herrick Don’t water or fertilize too much as it can make for top heavy growth . They prefer to dry between rains or watering . Good drainage is important
Debbie, what about salvia greggii?
I'm looking for mulch/compost that feed and keep weeds down and stays dark for beautiful coverage.
Enjoyed your salvia video, almost a year after you did it; May 21, 2020! I'm in zone 8, southern New Mexico, high desert; quite a bit different from your NW location. Love your lush green! Our new salvia garden should do fine as perennials. Looking forward to seeing your videos often 😊
New subscriber 😃. You are a blessing from God. I love your channel. Can Salvias be planted in pots? Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Great video! Can salvias be planted in a container? Since they like good drainage, would you use a cactus/succulent potting soil? Thanks!
Yes cactus mix works great!
Salvia gregii (cherry sage, Autumn sage) and salvia microphilla is very tolerant of heavy soil. Mine thrive in pure clay here in Albuquerque, New Mexico (zone 7b). They even seed here and there. My neighbor grows"Hot lips" in zone 7b with no trouble. It comes back year after year.
My black and bloom didn’t make it back last winter either in zone 7
I think it is originally from Mexico and Guatemala. It prefers subtropical climates zone 8 and above.
What is the shrub behind you with the pink and white flowers?
sonnet blush rhododendron. My favorite!
Love your videos. What is the best potting soil for indoor plants, like Peace Lily and Scheffera??
Just loved this video! new subscriber:)
What is the plant behind you. The pink one.
Thanks I learn a lot.
My salvia is drooping over. I forget what species of salvia it is. i think it may be the May Night. Am I not pruning back far enough or is it planted too high? I live in SE Michigan
Do you cut the salvia plant down in fall before winter sets in?
No need. Wait till Spring!
these are amazing gorgeous plants.
A Lot of people will dig them up because they think they smell like urine. I do not mind the aroma.
Congrats! What is the cultivar name of the gorgeous rhododendron behind you?
Jean T. O’M Sonnet blush rhododendron.
Thank you. I will have to look for it here.
I want my garden to look like like your
I have two or three different varieties of salvias in my garden. They all seem to get raggedy and brown/yellow at the bottom of the plants when they bloom or afterward. What do you think is causing this? Thank you
After the first bloom they are hungry and tired. Give them a trim and a light feeding and they will spring to life. Real important watering is consistent during hot weather or they will drop leaves. :)
What is that pink shrub behind you ?
I love salvias! I miss the “ladybug .” 🐞
Do you cut your Bleeding Hearts back when they are done blooming?
