Don't despair about your cedar sage...it has good years and bad years but it's a survivor.
Um...yes, I have coral nymph and scarlet sage...everywhere!
A gardening friend (who considers coccinea a pest) once told me, "Once it's established, you'll never be able to get rid of it". Thank goodness he was right!
It's a favorite of visiting butterflies.
In fact, all of the salvias are good nectar sources.
In my last post, I forgot to mention a couple of salvias from Mexico that do well in Texas.
Dulches numbres
Nuevo leon:
Here's the mejorana
and one I call "Lolly Jackson", although I'm not sure that's the correct name (sometimes you can't trust those plant tags). I got it many years ago and it, too, has self-seeded.
I highly recommend the new "Teresa" - lovely flowers. Tough little plant!
By the way, if you DO plant madrensis (forsythia sage), give it plenty of room!
Here's the guarantica before it died and went on the obituary list.
I also grow Eyelash sage and Bi-color but have no good photos.
Mealy cup is easy but doesn't photograph well.
Leucantha - another one that needs space, but it's a knock-out.
Okay, I'll stop now.
Thanks for the acorn
