I don't even go into the back entrance of Lowe's anymore. I know I'll find some plant I have to take home....so I just don't do it. I was up way too early this morning, and went out in my PJs to water those dern brugs again. I didn't water anything yesterday, as we were in and out running errands. The brugs in pots just caved. All better now.
You can certainly try a few cuttings if you'd like. I didn't mean to discourage you. I've just had better luck with salvias in the fall when it cools a bit (or early spring). Then by Feb., they're ready to bloom like crazy.
