A Manual for Salvia Growers

 

by Meg Bentley

A registered GPCAA Salvia Collection Holder

With nearly 400 species in her collection, Meg’s knowledge of Salvia is extensive.  Her latest publication, “A Manual for Salvia Growers” covers Salvia botany, characteristics of leaves (including fragrances), maintenance, and hardy types, those suitable for shaded gardens, baskets, containers, hedges and as an accent in the garden.   

Covering propagation by division and seed, pruning, pests, and including comprehensive cultivation notes, the booklet is an excellent reference for all Salvia enthusiasts.
