Salvia are fairly easy to grow and offer a wonderful show of colour while attracting butterflies and bees and deterring deer and other garden pests. Currently our selection on table F16 still includes: - Caradonna: Beautiful blue-violet florets on glowing purple stems that reach 24 to 30" in height. Long blooming, narrow flower spires are striking.

- New Dimension: Showy flower spikes reach a new dimension with richer, deeper colour. Long blooming, this series displays a uniform, compact habit that reaches 8-10" in height, and has very good garden performance. Available in both Blueand Rose.

Veggies Ready for Planting
And don't forget to get those vegetable gardens planted! It is so rewarding to go outside and pick fresh vegetables that you have grown right from a small plant. Don't have a vegetable garden? Plant a few tomatoes in a container on the patio, or add a few into an existing flower bed and eat the rewards later. |
