Comments (12)Thanks to both of you for your replies. It looks a lot like Indigo spires but I don't think it is because the foliage is different than the plant I have which I 'think' is Indigo Spires, but it caused me to remember that plant and that it might do what I'm looking for and that is a blue salvia that is tall enough to peek over from inside the Youpon holly hedge I have in the front. Shirley, I had a strong feeling I wasn't spelling Chiquita correctly ... lol. I think you nailed it. Does anybody on here grow it? Does it bloom early in the season? Or does it bloom late, like many other beautiful salvias that bloom only in fall?...See MoreDoes anyone have a mature Quandong ?
Comments (6)Hi Artie, this may be of help neighbours have Grevillea robusta ( Silky oak ) planted each side of both my boundary fences, they grow 30mts in the wild and are about 15mts and causing all kind of trouble to the fence posts, branches snapping of and our block is 2800 sq mt. I have planted Flindersia brayleyana ( Qld maple ) on my block now the label states that they grow to 15- 25mts in the rainforest and 8-12mts in a garden and I find this to be true so your tree will grow 35mts in the rainforest and probably half that size in a garden thats 17mts ( 55ft ) do you think your block can cope with a tree that big. My answer would be no, and I would go back to that nursery and ask them just how tall it grows in a small garden, it ok for them to say that, anything for a sale. But then you may have some answers that disagree with me, so wait till everyone has answered your post. Hope this helps......MM...See MoreO/T... Salvia 'Crystal Blue'.. anyone have it?...
Comments (4)I knew the photo of Crystal Blue looked familiar, and sure enough, I'd just seen another photo of CB in the Bluestone Perennials catalog that just arrived this afternoon. It's $15.50 which is pricey. It's part of the Color Spires series from Proven Winners, so you can also go to the Proven Winners website for lots more information. PW also sells online, and their price for Crystal may be less than Bluestone's. Diane...See Moresah67 (zone 5b - NY)
