I bought several plants on clearance last fall, including my first salvias. And then we had that winter... I thought my salvias were goners.

But now I have these little sprouts right where I planted them. Could they be my salvias? If so, what can I do to encourage them?

Welcome to the Agastache and Salvia forum Terri!

I can't tell from looking at your pic. What Salvia varieties did you get? Sometimes Salvias take a little while to "get growing" in the Spring.

@FBTS can you help out?

Thanks!

They are Cobalt Sage (Salvia reptans)

I've haven't grown them before yet, but they're Summer to Fall blooming, so they'll be slow growing for sure.

From the Flowers By The Sea site.....

I might just have to get one next year!

Let us know the progress on it. Do you just have one that survived from the ones you planted last year?

Marilyn, I planted two last year and if I'm right, then both are coming back.

Great!

OK, it's a little bigger and I got out a better camera, so--can you tell now? Is this my Salvia?

@FBTS would you take a look at this pic holity (Terri) posted?

Still a bit too small to be definitive. It could be Salvia reptans. You'll know in a few weeks as they grow very fast.

I really think they are. They're in exactly the right spot, and the two look like each other but not like any weeds I've got. Thanks for all the input!
