I'll propagate next year, and when I have some growing away in pots as an insurance, I'll plant the 'mother' in the garden and see how it goes. As for the pyrotechnic, I do not see why they cannot do light shows with music as an alternative.Stasherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02616094223215469144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081101795597600004.post-55130632094128868492017-11-07T10:57:02.122+00:002017-11-07T10:57:02.122+00:00Oh I think my comment disappeared.

That Salvia is gorgeous. What an intense and deep color. That kind of salvia tends to be an annual here, so I usually don't bother with them.

I've never heard of that Salvia but I love its brilliant blue color and, as I may have said before, I have a soft spot for fuchsias.
