Thank you so much for this. I have Meadow Sage and May Night in Zone 8b n not growing at all

[@OverdevestNurseries]

Thanks for your kind comment. We are of course, in our different (Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern) region: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ so our experiences in your hotter (and probably drier and perhaps more humid climate) is very limited. But, in the video you will hear me mention how there's many different types of Salvias and undoubtably there will be some that will thrive in your conditions. So can I suggest that you contact your local garden center to seek their guidance.

[@grounded7362]

My honey bees absolutely love Salvia May Night. I currently only have one hill of the May Night and it is growing a couple feet to the east of a cedar next to my house and gets very limited sun and absolutely loves it there. I am hoping to get more going for the bees but struggling with the idea of digging this one up to divide because it is doing so well.

[@OverdevestNurseries]

Thanks for taking the trouble to let us know. Salvias like May Night manage to do quite well for several years without division, but eventually they are likely to begin to "run out of steam" and loose vigor - so "taking the plunge" and taking at least a few smaller pieces of the sides of the clumps is probably a good plan. We don't yet have a video that shows you how to "split" Salvias but this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5WqqJJ_dqt_epo where David takes you through the process on Coneflowers (Echinacea) will explain the principles and procedure. Then when you get a chance, you might like to check out some of the other varieties of Salvia that we offer through our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ because they will also attract pollinators and bees and of course, bring you more colors, heights and characteristics.

Could you please tell me if an entire branch that broke off of newly planted salvia greggii Arctic Fuschia can be used to make a new plant? I planted several in containers, but branches snapped even as I gently took them out of the pots and one broke just by gently watering it the next day. I can't imagine what will happen when we get a Georgia thunderstorm. I took the branches and one I put in water and another I stuck back in the soil, but maybe it's just a frustration I will have to live with. The hummingbirds visited them before they were even planted. Thanks for your video. Blessings.

Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial. If you don’t cut back the plan will it still flower a second or third time? And do the dry seeds on the stems re-seed? I just planted these for the first time in my garden and they are beautiful

[@OverdevestNurseries]

You are very welcome, it is nice to know that you've found it helpful. To answer your question, if they are not trimmed back they will still probably produce some flowers, but there won't be as many, the flowers will be smaller and the plant will be "woodier" and not look as healthy and pretty. If you leave the seed heads on, this will encourage the plant to stop flowering sooner. You might get some seedlings, but these will not come true to type and will most likely be inferior.

I have a sage that stays green all winter here in the NorthEast. My question to anyone who wants to answer is, What do I do with all the green leaves that rode out winter? Are they still edible? Should I strip the bark in spring of all the old leaves?

[@OverdevestNurseries]

The culinary sage will often retain some of its foliage in milder locations and winters. This can be removed in spring as the new growth begins to appear, a light trim is all that is required. This of course makes way for the new fresh growth, removes any old foliage that may have over wintering disease spores and leaves the plant tidy and ready to grow out and give you a whole new season of fresh healthy foliage for you to enjoy.

My wife and I absolutely love your channel, very detailed and helpful. We planted 8 violet profusion 2 years ago, and they have really taken off. This year, we've had a lot of rain, and we noticed they were being attacked by some type of pest (we did see many earwigs) the leaves looked awful, and lace like. We did treat for bugs. Shortly thereafter, the leaves mainly on the bottom, but also in the middle were yellow, brown spots, getting brown and crispy. Maybe a fungus or a reaction to the pests. Not sure. We cut them almost all the way down to about an inch, removed all the dead foliage and cleaned up all around the plants. Do you think we will still get a 2nd bloom? Does it take a long time to re-grow? Also, would you suggest a fertilizer, or just wait as they seemed to be stressed right now? We are just so upset about it. Normally this is when we are getting such a beautiful bloom from them. Thanks for any input !

[@OverdevestNurseries]

First, thank you for your kind compliment re: our channel, it is great to hear you are appreciating our efforts. Secondly, we are sorry to learn of your problems with your Violet Profusion plants. It is hard to tell without seeing the plants and their surroundings (that's where an Extension Agent or knowledgeable Master Gardener comes in), they could more accurately help with a diagnosis and remedy. Certainly, it sounds like perhaps there's several things going on..... bugs eating the foliage and leaving it lacy looking), and perhaps a disease issue with the yellowing foliage and spots (although its natural for plants to have a bit of this in the center of clumps - even on healthy, thriving plants. However, (and this is just a hunch) the main issue could be drainage related - i.e. root damage sustained in heavy, saturated soil when the plants were dormant in winter and early spring and then exacerbated in this cold, wet spring. One thing these types of Salvias need is REALLY GOOD drainage.... and if your plants were sitting in wet conditions (even when they were dormant) they would have sustained root rot and then would be unable to root out again when conditions improve and then actually struggle and get stressed again when things turn dry! Pests (and diseases) often have an uncanny ability to hone in on weak or struggling plants, so these effects may be secondary. You did exactly the right thing in trimming back the plants and treating for the bugs. Now its lots of TLC, while they are in a recovery mode, don't worry about fertilizer (except possibly occasionally with a diluted solution), the main thing will (believe it or not), be watering during the summer months to nurse them back out of their weakened state and help to avoid drought stress in hot periods. The other thing David suggests is to apply a 2' deep top dressing of compost around the edges of the clumps - this will help to keep the soil moist and cool during the summer, and is great stuff for encouraging new roots to root up near the surface. Then if you reflect on this and think that your soil drainage is suspect, then this coming Autumn you should consider lifting your plants and transplanting them to a new better drained site or building up you bed with extra soil, grit or sand, so that it is raised well above the water table and then replanting them into the same area. As an extra note, if you review some of our videos filmed in our test garden, you will see that our beds are all raised up for the same reasons as outlined above. Obviously, we would defer to a on site diagnosis, but knowing Salvias and their need for a good, free draining situation - we think this might be where the under lying issue is. We hope this helps.

Hi. Could you do selective deadheading like removing half like you are doing, and then come back and do the other half on the same plant a couple of weeks later so there would still be some color? Thanks.

[@OverdevestNurseries]

Yes you could do this, it will stagger the rebloom and if you were to trim some, and leave some, trim some etc. You should end up with a more natural effect and a rotation of color. The important thing is to keep the plants juvenile, so they are always producing new growth and new flowering shoots.

We use predominantly pine bark but it often depends upon whatever type and grade is available in the various localities. Ask to examine the grades at your local garden centers. Hardwood mulch is probably the most commonly encountered sort and it can usually be sourced as "Double" or "Triple" ground. Obviously the Triple ground is going to have finer particles.

Have you ever used the old blooms for seeds

[@OverdevestNurseries]

Thanks for your question. it is probably possible to grow some seedlings from the old flower heads but the chances are that they are likely to be inferior, compared to these selected forms. So for that reason we have never bothered to try. In addition, once these plants "run to seed" that stops them from reblooming, and since we want to get as much color as possible in our gardens, we would rather snip off the old flower stems as they fade, and get get the renewed flowering cycles that makes these plants so valuable.

[@garage-guy207]

David, I have several of the New Dimension Blue and Caradonna salvia due to their respective sizing, short and tall respectively. They are both beautiful early June bloomers. However one of my pet peeves with both of these varieties is that, during and nearing the end of their bloom period they have a tendency to, what I call, flop over which opens up their crowns to visual viewing which is not overly attractive, especially when in mass plantings. Is there opportunity to prevent the ‘flopping’ from happening or is it their natural habit and telling you it’s time to deadhead? Look forward to your reply. Thank you

[@OverdevestNurseries]

Thanks, there's two things you could try..... 1/ Try to grow them a little "harder" - that means no (or very little) fertilizer, and if you have automatic irrigation shut it off or turn down the frequency! It is natural for us to want to do the best we can for our plants, but these are descended from meadow or upland grassland plants in nature where they have to compete for nutrients and at times moisture. And in a garden where we are providing rich growing conditions, they will often put on lush, vigorous growth (which is good) but it can also be too rank and lead to floppiness especially after rain storms of winding conditions. 2/ The other thing you could try is a late spring trim. When your plants push up to about 6-8" (just before they start to form flowers buds), trim them back by taking off about 3'' or so. This will set the flowering time back by a few weeks, but you should get shorter, bushier and sturdier plants.

[@garage-guy207]

David, thank you for the great recommendations. I do have irrigation installed, primarily for the lawns but the installer tied the zones in to the flowerbeds also with a riser in each. What I will do with the risers is add an in-line shut off valve so, as you have suggested, I can cut back the watering frequency tied to the lawns. Other plants in the bed (spirea and hydrangeas) won’t mind the reduced watering due to their maturity. Thank you also for your timely response. I thought of replacing the Salvia with Veronica Spicata ‘Royal Candle’ due to upright format and, I’ll say, somewhat similar flower effect. Thoughts, criticisms?

[@OverdevestNurseries]

Thanks for your question. Yes, this could be what happened. These types of Salvia (once they become established) are remarkably drought tolerant and don't need supplementary watering (or even much feeding), so growing them a bit "harder" next year, should solve the issue.

I love these plants but can't seem to get them to grow like yours in the video. Them just being in the ground in the UK causes the plants to get very leggy and droopy.

Thanks for reaching out and watching our video. We think you've hot the "nail on the head" when you talk about your conditions being too wet. They love plenty of sun and well drained soil.

And one of the things you might consider, is creating a raised bed somewhere and in it incorporating extra grit and sand to improve the drainage. If you get a chance to view some of our other videos that we've filmed in our trial gardens, you will see that we have done exactly that.... created raised beds. Our soil is sandy, but there's a raft of clay underneath and so that's why we brought in soil and on these raised beds our Meadow Sages are thriving😅✅👍💚👏 Have you subscribed to our channel?

[@OverdevestNurseries]

Salvia May Night is derived from a completely different species and is much more ornamental. There's close on a 1,000 different species in the genus Salvia and "Clary" (Salvia sclarea) is just one of them. It is much shorter lived, taller growing and not nearly as pretty or reliable as an ornamental garden plant. Have you thought about subscribing to our channel?

Hello, please tell me why my salvias fall over while your stems are strong

[@OverdevestNurseries]

Thanks for a great question. It often depends upon the variety, some are shorter and stiffer than others. Also, if you are being "too kind" to them, they might be growing too lush and not be as stocky and sturdy as ones that are grown a little "harder" with less fertilizer and watering etc. Also, it needs to be said, that maybe our plants are perhaps older and well-established and adjusted to their locations. And, if you've looked closely at our videos in the nursery, you will see that our plants are extra bushy because they are frequently trimmed and sheared to make them extra bushy. Very few nurseries do this as frequently as we do it, because it is costly and time consuming, and it takes longer to produce the crop, but we do it because we know that in the long run the plants will be bushier and better. Also, at some garden centers and stores, they might be shipped in from long distances and even displayed beside each other too closely. This encourages them to stretch upwards to compete for light, and that draws them up to be taller and floppy too. If your Salvia plants are floppy, then what we suggest you do is, trim them back and let them come again. Finally stay tuned, because this is such and interesting question that we will ask David if he can address it in one of his upcoming videos. BTW, have you subscribed to our channel?

Can you suggest a liquid type of fertilizer? Our pets try to eat any granular types. Thank you.

[@OverdevestNurseries]

There's some very effective liquid fertilizers that would do your job, and you might want to consider some of the "spikes" too (these are the ones you push into the earth). Also, we find it helpful, to lightly rake (and water in) the top of the earth after application, because that helps to distribute the fertilizer and make it more available for the plants. You might also want to avoid the ones that contain bonemeal. We consider it important to preserve our independence (and not become beholding to any brands or corporations), so for that reason, we prefer not to name individual brands, but if you visit some of our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ they will be able to recommend the fertilizers ones that work best in your area.

Maybe a video on fertiliser requirements and use would be good from this channel.

Yes, that's where David comes from.

Why don't they say where this nursery is located.... it has a bearing on whether his advice is applicable to your area. It doesn't say even on his home page.

[@OverdevestNurseries]

Thanks for watching and posting your question. We try to point out that our plants (and guidance) is suitable for growing in our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern region because that's where all our partnering garden centers are located: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/. And, we try to work closely with each of them to provide a constant supply of the best selections for all of the individual climate conditions and complexities for each of those neighborhoods. Most of these places are family owned (often for multiple generations), so they usually have an intimate knowledge of local weather and soil conditions etc. and that's why they are such a valuable resource for everyday gardeners and home owners. FYI, our nursery is located Southern New Jersey (near Bridgeton) and David's garden is in Central Pennsylvania, and while that's where our videos are filmed, the information that your local garden center provides will always be more specific and attuned to that neighborhood. We hope this helps to explain. Have you subscribed to our channel?

Why does May Night stink so bad

[@OverdevestNurseries]

That's probably the "aromatic" foliage you are smelling 😄. Remember that the species that these selections are descended from, are herbaceous perennials that grow in woodland edges, pastures and meadows in eastern, central and southern Europe and into southwestern Asia. So, to prevent being eaten by grazing animals (cows, sheep, goats etc.) they have evolved to have oils in their "fragrant" foliage that is released when brushed against or crushed. That's one of the modern day attributes that we try to take advantage of in our gardens today, in our attempts to minimize damage from deer, rabbits or ground hogs etc. And, if you were talking to some of our viewers that live in neighborhoods with over populated (and often starving deer) deer, they would tell us that the "stinkier" the selections are..... the better! Obviously, if you dislike the smell but need to have plants that deer usually leave untouched, then try to keep them "down wind" or away from paths etc, so that you can avoid brushing against them. And when it comes to deadheading them (which ought to be done frequently), then it might mean be one hand on the pruners, and another to hold your nose! 😅✂️ Have you subscribed to our channel?

Good, I'm not the only one that finds May night offensive, it smells like cat spray when the plant gets wet. Yuck!! If it didn't smell so bad I would love to have several.
