We'll share interesting facts and useful growing tips on these easy and hardy perennials, and we'll chat about our favorite cultivars.

I am so happy to have the podcasts back.
And what a great topic. I would love to try the S. 'Limelight', what a beauty. I have owned S. 'Black and Blue', S. 'Hot Lips' and Pineapple Sage. I loved all three of them. The Black and Blue and Hot Lips came back every year until we had an unusually cold and wet winter. Pineapple Sage never made it through our wet winters.

I have a wonder A. rupestre under the front room window. A great spot for it, we get to watch the humming birds feed from it.

I am so excited to hear about what Jon is doing. Way to go Jon. Hurray!

Oh, it's over. Sad
When is the next one? Hurray!

Snail problems? You may not have that problem in Texas?
Winterizing tools?
