Just bought and planted one, seen it and caught my eye straight away, enjoying the video and going to make my own mulch for the first time, Newbie gardener :-)

Appreciate this and your other video too, which takes viewers through three different methods of rooting these lovely plants; 1) rooting the cuttings in plain water, 2) dipping the cuttings first into water, then rooting hormone, then planting cuttings in potting soil, and the 3) just planting the cuttings into 4” pots of soil. I’ve been rooting a couple of avocado pits just in water, and it’s amazing to watch the roots grow just from rooting in water. We have a wonderful salvia “hot lips” which I am going to try rooting in water. What a great idea to have videos like this available for anyone during Covid quarantine. Many thanks to you both.

I planted several of these in a row next to the lawn. They quickly grew, so I shaped them into a hedge and regularly cut them with shears. It can be an alternative to boxwood hedges but with flowers.

Hi Dev! 👋 Wow, that is sooo great you use your Salvia Hot Lips like this! So cool. 👍 Thanks for watching and commenting!

I think I killed mine 😭

@PJ-rp5gb 3 года назад

I am on the west coast of B.C. Canada, and in october I cut back my plants, and it is May now, and nothing is growing, well one tiny little green sprout on one of the plants. I am devastated, I love these so much, and because of lack of gardening and research I am pretty sure they won't grow back. Anything I can do?? Or should I purchase new ones??? Thankyou

Hi PJ! 👋 Oh, we are sooo sorry to hear about your plants. Know that there are lots of different things that are completely out of our control, like the weather (wacky this year), critters and insects, and more. Our hearts go out to you. 💚💚💚 There are a few things you can do to check to see if your plants are alive. Use the "Thumb-Scratch" test to see if different areas of any plant are still alive or if they need to be removed. This is where you use your thumbnail to scratch the bark away from any stem to see if there is any green (live) tissue in that area of a plant. If it's green, then you have live tissue right there. You can keep scratching further up a stem to keep checking if there is a point where the live tissue stops and any dead tissue begins. You will know if the tissue is dead when you scratch below the bark and it is either gray or brown. This tissue should be removed. If you scratch around the whole plant and can't find any green tissue under the bark, then your plant is most likely dead. If you find green tissue, but you plant hasn't started breaking bud or growing yet, check it's specific characteristics to see if it is usually late to wake up in the spring or even summer, or if it has any known reactions to specific cold or extreme weather. You can look for these characteristics through your local nursery, county/provincial extension agency, and different societies. We hope you find that your plants are alive and just taking a little time to wake up this spring. If we can help more with anything, just let us know. You can also email us at seanandallison@spokengarden.com. Always happy to help. Thank you for being here. 👍🌞

Sorry but we don't get hummingbirds in the UK...Still love the hot lips it smells of blackcurrant

@judithbareham599 3 месяца назад

Guys this was great! My Hotlips is not flowering so much - it’s its second year and I trimmed it back in Spring… we are zone 7… there’s not the red coming through… should I give it a boost of Epsom salts or organic feed?

@mayflower9730 3 месяца назад

I have two BIG hot-lip sages, one many-years old, the other I just bought from nursery last year. I live in the greater Seattle area. Neither survive the winter! I trimmed the top one inch of branches after all leaves were fallen in winter. What did I do wrong?

@dianearnold1604 2 месяца назад

I trimmed mine back will they bloom again I'm in middle ga temp here is in 90s now in july

@Lolitadarkmusic 2 года назад

Hi from Los Angeles California. Mine was soooo beautiful and now they started changing colors from bright red to lighter pink. Now the blooms are very sparse. Poor hummingbirds! Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Btw, it is planted in a large pot with copper tapes around it to avoid snails. Thank you!

When do you cut Hot lips down

@SpokenGarden 22 дня назад

Hi there! Great question and, for us, we don't completely cut our hotlips salvia down to the ground or give it any really hard pruning in the fall due to it being more of a hardwood perennial in our climate. We will give it a light pruning in fall before the hard freezes set in to help remove any dead branches, remove crossing branches, and help shape it for next spring so it can really set up next years buds. Depending on where you are gardening and how harsh of winters you get can be a big factor in if you cut some of your hardwoods down to the ground. If you are unsure, you can always check with your local nursery staff or your county extension horticultural agent who should be able to help you with this. Hope this helps and thank you for watching! 😊😊

Do you ever prune it back hard....I missed what you said about pruning after last frost. Basically in 9, that pruning comes in Feb./March.

@SpokenGarden 3 года назад

Hi Bonnie! 👋 Great question. We haven't pruned it back hard yet, but it needs it now. 😲 We plan to treat ours the same as you, with pruning in early spring or after the last frost date, so we don't run the risk of exposing any newly cut tissue to freezing temps. For the frost free dates, even though our plant is hardy in our area, exposing any live tissue by pruning to frost or freezing temps can lead to further damage and die-back, because the plants cells are fill with water and when those cells freeze the water in them expands, basically blowing the cells up and killing that plant tissue. Hope that helps and thank you for watching and commenting. We are in Zone 8b, so zonally-speaking, we are like "Zone Palls". 😉👍

Hi how do you dry and store this kind of sage?

@elsitabebe 3 года назад

The fragrance is so calming and soothing just like burning sage. I would love to roll around in it and cover myself with it. In my zone in Southern California it blooms year-long and the only thing I have managed to keep alive because it requires very little maintenance and watering. I have a family of hummingbirds that come year after year after year I love watching them also which is why I want to cover my entire yard in salvias.

@SpokenGarden 3 года назад

Hi Elsitabebe! 👋 Wow, that sounds sooo amazing to have all those hummingbirds visiting! And we hear ya on how fragrant and lovely the 'Hot Lips' can be. What a great plant and, like you said, sooo easy to care for. It's definitely one our faves, too! Thanks for watching and commenting. 😉👍

Hi. when is the best time for taking cuttings from salvia. hot lips

@SpokenGarden 3 года назад

Hi Anthony! 👋 Great question! Usually a good time to take these cuttings is after it's done flowering, but since 'Hot Lips' continuously flowers, it can be confusing and a little frustrating. Since this salvia plant is a woody perennial, you can take stem cuttings in late summer or fall. Be sure to take cuttings that are semi-woody at the base of each stem, but then new soft growth at the tip or top of each stem so you have that new juvenile growth. Hope that helps and thanks for watching! Oh, and we took cuttings of our 'Hot Lips' Salvia, so if you want to see how we did it, here is that video link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UvmKDqp9_ns.html
