Avis
Salvias are another fragrant plant that is in the mint family. I enjoy growing salvias for their fragrance, beauty and most of all, their value to wildlife. I'm glad this value was highlighted throughout the book. The book opens with the many ways to incorporate salvias into your landscape design. Different types of salvias are able to grow in many different types of environments, so there is most likely several types that can grow no matter where you are. Tender salvia, which can be treated as annuals are also discussed. I was very appreciative that salvias specifically for the wildlife garden was discussed. There are beautiful pictures and descriptions of 150 types of salvias to grow. The most useful elements of the description are the hardiness zones for each and the uses in the landscape. The section on growing and propagating is easy to follow and understand. Salvias are another easy plant to grow and this book should be helpful to any level gardener who would like to grown any variety of salvia. However, I still wish the sections were arranged with the growing and propagating section near the beginning. This book was received for free in return for an honest review.
