I noticed last time I was there that they had a BUNCH of hosta Patriots but they weren't marked down very much then. They looked good for end of season. I don't know how they manage to keep those pots from drying out in this heat. Lowe's on N. Kansas had a whole bunch of salvia 'May Night' on clearance then also and may still have some. I have several already or would've bought some. It's a long bloomer and one of my favorites.

We were at the Wal-Mart supercenter at Ozark yesterday.I ran thru the garden area-didn't see any great bargains but did see stuff that had wilted from not being watered.They sure could learn from us!Posy Pet

Christie, just take some cuttings from non-blooming tips...strip off bottom leaves...dip in rooting powder and stick in a cell pack of damp potting soil. I like to place the cell packs down in a large clear plastic bag and set near a window. Don't keep them too "close" and damp. Save those big bags that big packs of paper towel come in..a little print on it won't hurt. Tie it off at the top and use the string to tie the top up to something so it won't lay down on the plants. Near a window is good, or under a good light. They root pretty fast...I did a whole bunch last year and planted them out...they are big this year. Think I did them in late May or early June.

Ooops! Forgot to mention that I am talking about Salvia, May Night. LOL

Millie, have you ever taken cuttings from Lavender Munstead? I need more of these guys.......they love this heat! Thanks for the tip on cuttings from salvias. I have a new Caradona and Marcus that I really like and am going to try the cuttings on them.

BTW, I paid $2 and $1.50 each for the perennials.
