20.01.2022 What's flowering now!! How beautiful. Feel free to comment for the names of these Salvia's if you are interested. Reminder: continue checking out our website, it is being updated

19.01.2022 Bethelii - usually flowers spring & summer - small round knobs

19.01.2022 Event Reminder: save the date in your calendars because on Sunday the 4th of August we are holding a Propagation Day! Come along and see how to propagate tall Salvias, small bushy, colourful Salvias or some more difficult Salvias. Propagation mix, pots and prop powder as well as labels will be provided. TIME: 1:30PM WHERE: Salvia Display Garden in the Nobelius Heritage Park, Emerald. Turn down Crighton Rd, Emerald, under the Packing Shed, along the Puffing Billy Line. ... PARKING: just above the Emerald Museum, NOT along the road by the Packing Shed WHAT TO BRING: secateurs, bags for cuttings and containers to take pots home WE HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

18.01.2022 Hints for Summer: - mulch your Salvias well with sugarcane mulch (easy to place around small plants and attracts worms. Place an aqua hose through the bed, which still works when covered by mulch. It is more environmentally acceptable than spray irrigation) - dead head the flowers (trim/ clip 1/4 of plant to keep the plant looking good and to encourage more flowers) - place greggii/microphyllas and any grey leaf Salvias in full sun, don't place in shade, they go very leggy... easily - at the end of Summer all small leaf Salvias will need a proper cut back as they will be looking daggy and leggy. Cut back to a new shoot or green leaf bud - (1/2 or 3/4 to promote good new growth and flowers for winter) - for large leaf Salvias, leave alone until they have flowered. (visit the pruning page on the website for instructions of how to prune what varieties) WHAT IS FLOWERING NOW? - greggii/microphyllas (in full flower no matter the colour) - S.flocculosa - most of the coccinea varieties - chlapensis - magenta magic - waverly - phyllis fancy - canariensis varieties - muril - celestial blue - allen chickering - sclarea - desoleana - most herbaceous varieties - rhinosina - miniata - amistad AND MANY MORE!! Visit the 'What's Flowering' page on the website. Many varieties have such a long flowering period, that those varieties seem to appear every season.
