Salvia is a nice plant

shes getting nice and big now, the little sprouts from the base have about as much foliage as the top now.
ive seen a few pics of greenhouse salvia and i must say they grow far larger than i thought. from the one cutting i got 2 months ago, ive enough already to make 3-4 plants. but im going to let it establish a little better.
next september i will be taking a horticulture course, and they have a wicked greenhouse for students, i could try doing a few flats there. basically i plan to have alot of these plants. just having one is silly to me when it's so easy to make many.
by the time i get my own place (and an attached heated southern-exposure greenhouse is PARAMOUNT)i hope to have a nive stock to get going, too bad by then it will be illegal because of people like those at "salviasupply.com"
basically, in a nutshell, what i intend to do is have a few healthy mothers, and then take cuttings from them in the late winter, then transplant them to carefully prepaired outdoor garden beds in late spring.
ive seen them bush up fast that way. a little manure, lime, and straw. ho ho ho. last season i grew all poppies, ill just stick to the salvia next year and plant poppies out in unused feilds.

I think they are nice, too. Mine are blooming now. Soon I will have to move my outdoor plants into a greenhouse as the temps. drop. Some of my plants stayed in the greenhouse all season. They are 6 feet tall now and grew out through a hole in the roof. This was unbelievable to me as my climate is so hot and dry during the summer and fall.

They are pretty in veg. Flowering is extremely hard indoors as well as outdoors unless you lucky outdoors.
