Hello again! My salvia cuttings are getting very tall now and some are in bloom but a lot of the leaves are yellowing and brown at the edges. What can I do about this?. They are in an unheated greenhouse, also I was thinking of planting them out in the garden first week of June ,what do you think?. Many thanks folks!

when did you take the cuttings bizzybee? ive just bought an amistad and want to take cutting from it.
if they were mine i would harden them off and plant them
Hi Sanjy, I took cuttings last October.
thank you, i took some today and thought i'd chance it but i can always take some later on if these don't take
My cuttings of amistad were going yellow. I have potted them on into fresh compost and given them a feed. They seem to be perking up. Amistad get very big and seem to need more feed than other salvias.
Fidget, Verdun, thanks for your replies, I was getting a bit worried as I was thinking it was the end for my lovely salvias. They are quite tall , nearly 2 feet some of them, some have a few blooms too! I have not done any pinching so will do so now. What do I feed them with...Tomato food or FBB?. Is it worth me repotting them as they are so big and could be planted out very soon, I am in Worcestershire so not too severe weather here. Many thanks.
My Salvia Amistad overwintered in one bed and are now about 2 feet tall, but the ones in the other bed died over winter.
Thank you everyone!
