well the bed does drain down hill..but we do not have sandy soil so I better not mulch them in winter..I will pull the mulch away from the center of the plant and one foot around each one..
thank you all for answering..
I am going to add some sandy soil to the hole when I plant the new salvias
and Black Kow compost and and some regular soil..
deep hole of it all..then add some lime on the top one inch for each salvia..
does that sound okay..?

Would you put cypress mulch down in the hole for added drainage
or how would the roots do around cypress mulch in the hole with the dirt?

I added more pictures and they do not seem to load..
I always have been able to load them on this site
but they will not now..

thanks sheri
