Only thing that attacks mine are a billion bumble bees and beautiful butterflies... I am so in love with this plant!

[@janeforever]

My fav YT gardening channel🥰. I love salvias & have them planted everywhere in my N Central coastal CA garden, even in pots. Hummers, bees, butterflies, & especially humans ❤ all the different profusion of colors & heights. Looking forward to seeing the new varieties in the garden centers between here & San Jose.

Ya, true. I have become addicted to planning a better garden I just don’t have a water system yet. I found good advice for that and have to order the soaker tubing on line. Not for the lavender she showed in the last video. I love the huge batch of begonias under the tree. They are easy to start too!

[@seriouslyreally5413]

Slugs. Watch out for milky slugs. They love salvia. Powdery mildew. Avoid overhead watering unless you have Impeccable air flow to dry the foliage out. Most years my salvia will put out a spectacular show of electric blue flowers all summer. Other years it's a wet cold spring and a struggle to pick out and bait for slugs early on. And once the powdery mildew gets a toe hold- you'll never get it out and have a nice bloom show so you might as well cut them to the ground and hope for next year. That usually works.

[@Tom-gardenplants1849]

love your channel, thanks for sharing ^^

[@manaoharsam4211]

You covered an important point as to drought tolerant. Saying moisture level should be adequate. Also trimming in spring. It would be nice to say what and how protect in winter say 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

I was so close to getting me one on Friday. It smelled so good. But I have so many plants... I love the color.

[@theexmann]

Would Salvias pair well with Lavender? I have a 4 foot long by 18" wide and high very heavy cement pot and was planning on planting a Salvia in the middle with two Lavender plants on each side. I also have a tall planter close by with a butterfly bush with a combo of white, blue, and purple flowers that also attracts pollinators. BTW, what a beautiful space you've created. I can only imagine what a privilege it must be to be engulfed by it. One with nature, for sure. Thanks.

[@PatrickDustman]

Wow, I've never seen anything like that. It was really interesting. SurvivalAustria

[@JoPurpleLove]

Your dirt quality is gorgeous. The salvias too. I love salvia. I moved into an 8 year old house afew years ago that has poor compacted soil in All the beds. Some are very shallow before you start reaching bad soil mixed with rock. Anytime I dig for new plants or changing plant position I'm afraid I've stirred up a new spot to have horsetail pop through in certain areas. I can't till it or I'll get it cropping up even more. Some areas I'm having a hard time just keeping it under control. Any tips or videos to amend the soil without bring a mass horsetail army? I've heard horsetail likes bad soil which I'm sure is somehow the problem.

[@loppyloo106]

Please can you do a video on how to deadhead & prune the different kinds of salvias :)

[@MsAponte69]

I planted a small Salvia in my garden bed, but it died very fast. In retrospect, I'll try it again. This time I"ll place them in a pot to let them get big first. Seems like I need to plant bigger, stronger plants in the my landscape and weather.

[@kittykat632]

Most everyone can have success with salvia except for me 😥 but that's probably because my old garden was shaded 80% of the day so I'm going to try it in my new garden

[@stephwrigs7247]

Holy sandy soil for the Perfect Profusion! Hurray for tough salvia 😅. Obviously it will be fine (you are an expert). Hopefully I can find these varieties in Ontario. Now thinking of switching jobs to growing a cut flower business/nursery like some of the Mennonite/Amish do……💡 Big thanks from the Bruce Peninsula 🌸🐝🌻🦋.

[@robinshaw1673]

I have blue hills salvia & it comes back reliably each year, it looks great at the beginning of the season, but then they sprawl all over. I cut back the spent blooms but it reblooms only randomly and very small. The leaves get kind of curly & dry looking.

[@summerjohnson5437]

Gorgeous. New gardener over here... thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Your talent and skills are inspiring. How do you keep salvia from spreading out or falling down? Mine always looks terrible mid season. Does spacing have something to do with that or cutting them back? Seems like they’re so top heavy.

[@ProvenWinnersYouTube]

Sorry for the delayed response, they would benefit from a shearing back at this point. If they do not have enough sun they will not bloom as prolifically and they might spread out like this too. If you cut them back about ½, they will likely have re-bloom as well. Thank you and have a great week!

[@stanleyblazeraznik6047]

Beautiful. And the Salvia isn’t bad lookin’ either. 😍

[@marykelly8408]

Thank you for this info. I live in the southern Andes mountains of Ecuador and have the blue indigo color..but I think the sun may be too strong as my plant dries out often. I moved it to a shadier spot..any suggestions? It's in a pot and I have fertilized it. Gracias.

[@juliebeute2897]

[@jaycee4525]

First I want to thank you for all your great videos. They are very informative. Especially for the newbie gardener. My question I have is if there is any difference between the Color Spires line and the Profusion Line for the Salvia?

[@olaflangness2907]

I just saw a PW video where they answered your question. The Profusion line are exclusively Salvia nemerosa varieties that have lots of spires of smaller flowers, and can be sheared back for rebloom up to 3 x a season. The color spire series are mostly hybrids with another Salvia species that gives the plant fewer spires but larger flowers. They can rebloom but not as reliably or as often as the Profusion salvias.

[@DR-tv9lg]

I love salvia but the one I have is so invasive. Maybe I’m not cutting the stems down early enough.

Resistant to deer and rabbits... I wonder why... 😆

[@lindseydoeberling3711]

I have salvias that I planted about 4/5 years ago and they quite large. They end up sort of separating out in the middle around June usually. We cut them back and they grow nicely back late summer. I’m wondering if we should cut the plant up and separate it so it doesn’t spread out and leave a barren hole in the center?

I'm in zone 9b too, and I've definitely seen Salvia in the local nurseries. Like she said, there's tons of varieties, so there's some that are for our zone too. It may not be the exact varieties she uses, but they'll still be Salvia and still be beautiful 👍

Hi crystalh733 I have had great success with Veronica Speedwell plants in 9b. I’m not sure if they are part of the salvia family 🤔It looks very similar to all the other salvia plants. I love it, and I’m never let down by it. Another choice in my 9b garden for an awesome, all summer long color show are the canna lilies! There are so many varieties and colors. With a little bit of research at a garden nursery, you should be able to find lots of beautiful plants for our zone👍

Laura , You could convince me to buy , plant and transplant MUD 💞 I enjoy your videos so much and especially those Perrenials that are Sure To Grow ! May I ask , I would like to send some pictures your way in hopes you can help identify my hydrangea bushes . I'm not sure they are what I purchased . Still waiting for the 6 QUIK FIRE HYDRANGEAS TO BLOOM. 1 of the 2 Limelight hydrangeas is small and looks exactly like a Quik Fire Hydrangea now ( 8-10-22) with white blooms and pink arising from the bottom that's bright and beautiful ! It's smaller & lovely next to the bigger limelight which overwhelms it . These 2 are on the East side of my home . The 6 QUIK FIRE Hydrangeas on the South side of my home in my " Cottage garden " get full sun , are mulched well , consistantly checked for moisture and manually watered . Alkylotic soil. All green full, lush and varied blooms of a type of lace cap of white, at a distance their color appear tans with pink coming underneath now . Nothing like the one on the East side . The BOBO hydrangeas on the West side are exactly as they are supposed to be . They bloomed first ! and have stayed big , consistent all summer long in the very hot west side , same soil, moisture consistency etc. They are darling 🌟 I think my end of season discounted hydrangeas were mislabeled I fear . The Quickfire hydrangeas were to be the first to bloom and I'm still waiting ... Aug.10, 2022 . If I sent pictures , could you identify these for me even though only 2 of 6 have blooms . I cut them back in the spring only the dead , hollowed branches . I left nothing to chance . I planted them with the same products you do and fertilized the same also . Any ideas ? Hopes ? Dreams? Good ? Bad ? Ugly ? Prayers I need to know about ? I can't have a budget cut . No $ to spare . I'm still pulling weeds 😉. Pulling my hair trying to figure out what these are (?) These are : My anchor plants for my " Cottage Garden " I started last year 🤔😀😁😁😂🤣😄😃😅😉😉😉😉 Giggle Giggle ...HA HA HA ❗ I'm using cardboard , grass clippings since I ran out of the excellent mulch I had . The weeding is a Process I cannot keep up with and digging up all these tree roots but I have so much faith in my FISKARS POINTY SHOVEL AND PITCH FORK . I'm determined to show you what a good hand tool can do ( you show me up every moment - every hour - every day Lady 🌟 ) You just Shine 🌟 Aaron Shines right beside you 🌟 . God Bless You Both for Blessing Us Every Day 🕯. P.S. Beautiful Lavendar Wreath Demo . Tell your Macho Mom I think her wreath is awesome .

You will not often find plants as mature and in flower like what Laura shows in her videos. Once we ship the plants she grows them on in her greenhouse so they do look good at the time of planting, otherwise people are not able to visualize the appearance of the plant.
