Hello All,  I have a salvia - hot lips which is thriving.  I would really like to move it to another position.  My problem is not knowing when the best time is to do it.  I have taken a cutting - just in case.  Thanks.  Marion

    Thank you both for your contribution.  The spring it is. As a novice I would have moved it in the autumn. Marion imageimage

    I have a salvia hot lips, last year it was red and white but this year it's mainly white, can anyone tell me why?

    No, sorry.   Mine is mostly red this year after being a mix of red, white and red with white last year.   Maybe all down to temps or water or feed?

    I plunge my two in the greenhouse to keep them safe over winter and it was so cold and wet till mid July I left them in there and they've grown rather large.  I shall have to cut them quite hard to lift them out now so lots of cuttings material.

    Would be interested if anyone has a theory about the flower colour changes.
