The Salvia Collection reviews
Reviewed 7th August 2019 by Lynette Beautiful and have grown very well |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Pauline They are lovely healthy plants doing well. |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Sarah Two out of three thrived and look great. |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Caroline Lovely healthy plants, establishing and flowering in the garden. Just a note to other gardeners out there, that the salvia microphylla ‘Cerro Potosi’ was a magnet for slugs and snails. They had eaten one plant to sticks before I managed to get some slug pellets down. |
Reviewed 31st July 2019 by Mollie Did. not grow on as strongly as previous years despite similar attention. |
