SGL, remember its poisonous, so wash your hands or wear gloves, might not be a problem, but you dont want to be poorly now you are so close to being a lady of liesure
Ive got some beautiful blue hardy salvia seeds which will grow to 3 or 4 ft tall, also have purple agastache with green leaves, you are more than welcome to both, just pm your details
Salvia is ready and does germinate as ive sown some already, agastache is in flower, so will be a few weeks longer
Hi Lyn, of course you can have some salvia! I sow it now, simply because thats when the plant naturally drops the seed so its the "right" time, i think it also helps earlier flowering
The agastache just self seeds all over, so is very tough, but it does like good drainage, it often grows in the gravel path, i just move it in the spring
A huge big thank you to Bekkie, she has sent me loads of mixed geraniums, that is so generous of you.
I am sorting out my borders this week so will do your geraniums and probably the campanulas, I cant remember, Bekkie, if you wanted blue as well or just white?
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Gosh they have got to you quickly! It took ages last time! I just hope ive labelled them correctly! Im sure of the pink at least
Andy, sorry it was a bit bigger than expected, it must have been in that pot with my tree peaony longer than i thought! I might get round to planting the peaony one day!

And I have a fuchsia pink colour almost bordering on purple.
SGL you need to keep a close eye on foxglove seeds now, one day they are greenish, next day popped.
Pull the whole pod carefully off the plant and open it over a sheet of paper, its like dust.

Had a thought bekkie, salvia's or agastache would make good additions doesn't matter what variety they are.

Thanks for the tips Lyn and bekkie x
Bekkie, could I have a few salvia seeds if you have any left please.
Do you sow them now or wait till Spring?
I was just reading about the agastache, it said they need winter protection, it gets mighty wild down here in the winter. What do you think?
