Unboxing: Colonial Creek Farm

I love purchasing budget friendly plants from Colonial Creek Farm. They always have a great selection of herbs and pollinator plants.

Kitten Around Catmint x1
John Whittlesey Salvia x1
Mirage Rose Bi-Color Salvia x1
African Blue Basil x2

This year, I get to grow African Blue Basil! I also purchased a dwarf catmint. Can you guess which one of the plants pictured attracted the kitties?

I also picked up Rose Bicolor Salvia. I had this plant last year but lost them to the heat. I did get another specimen from Denton Plant Factory.

Unboxing: Flowers By the Sea

My FBTS order has arrived. Plants are amazingly large, healthy and well packed!

Salvia x ‘Raspberry Truffle’ x2
Salvia microphylla ‘Variegata’ x2
Salvia BODACIOUS ‘Smokey Jazz’ x1
Salvia mexicana x hispanica ‘Byron Flint’ x1
Salvia x ‘Waverly’ x1

Beautiful specimens all! One of the salvias already has buds. I can’t decide which specimen is my favorite, they all look fantastic. Can’t wait to get them into the ground!
