Salvia 'Amistad'

Salvia taken from cutting of mother plant last year, mother plant hasn't any flowers yet! 🤔 this is mine @rachelbrooks its not far off from colour of yours 🤔 stem is darker! #salviaamistad

Ah thanks Jan 👍🏼 yours is definitely darker than mine - mine has more of a blue tinge to it. The stems are dark green but not as dark as yours. Steve's @lamaisonbleueoleron friend on IG says he thinks it called Blue Enigma and I've googled it and it does look more likely! Who knows? Maybe it'll get a bit darker 🤔 thank you for your help 😘

No probs 😄👍 @rachelbrooks

Success I took 2 cuttings from this plant end of last year and now have 3 plants and the cuttings have flowers already 👍👍👍😄

Yay well done Jan 👏👏👏

Fantastic Jan! 😀

Great Jan. I had Salvia for the first time last year. It just kept going all summer 👍😊

Well done, I'm a Salvia addict!!

New plant buy yesterday to replace a small tree that had to be shifted as roots too near septic tank!

Lovely Jan. Coincidence I just posted my salvia 😀

I have just turned on and seen yours Sue great minds @susanhumphrey333 😄 just couldn't resist when I saw them yesterday I have just been looking up how to overwinter them, what have you done with yours?

Nice 👍

Mine are hardy (Mystic Spires) but I think some are half hardy so it depends. Mine are still flowering like mad so I haven't done anything yet. Think I will leave it in its pot but put it in a sheltered spot just in case 😀 yes great minds Jan 😂

Jan, I would take cuttings as a security. I've just taken some and hope they survive the winter fingers cross. https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/307058/i-Salvia-i-Amistad-sup-(PBR)-sup/Details more info for you. I would add some good mulch to protect the roots durning it's first winter👍👌 good choice 😎

These are gorgeous Jan😍

Mines in the ground and it's HUGE...!!!! Far too big for where it is !!! Fabulous plant though !!! 😍

Hi Steve thank you for the advise good idea I will take some cuttings tomorrow, I had read up on the rhs site this morning about tender plants and will give it a winter mulch for protection fingers x we will both have a good show next year 👍🏻🤗 @lamaisonbleueoleron

Thank you Dar hoping Big Boy is improving @SikoMa

Hi Ann thats good I won't mind it getting huge I do have alot of space for it thanks for that👍🏻 @Nettle

Thank you Jan. He is much better. I think the cold and rain has helped keep the swelling down too. Thank you for asking.
