Please check my trades and if you have any plants to trade that will live in a hot sun and dry climate, that I can take with me to Goomeri, 40 degree's on a hot day, only one tree in the backyard that has "some" shade under it.
Please get in touch with me, not too much of a rush, probably 2 more mths before moving.
I am hoping the beautiful salvia makes some seeds before the frosts of fall arrive. Fortunately it has been warm here the past couple weeks. Were you able to get your plants going this year of this species (the bicolor cream/coral Salvia coccinea)?
Have you tried angel trumpets. Our summer here this past year was way ove 100+. I have them in a raised bed, in full sun, and my trick was a soaker hose. I also planted them on a bed of water sorb crystals.
My raised bed is made of landscape timbers, and it is 4 feet from front to back, and is 24 feet long. It is 3 feet deep. The crystals I placed at the roots of the young plants, when I placed them in the ground! I think that is what saved them, and allowed them to get established.
This is what it looks like today! Ready to flush again in a week or so.
