Wind--re the B&B salvia not coming up---Last year--as we slid into winter,
I made a circle of plastic fencing and filled it with leaves over both my B&B S.
Just removed them, maybe, a month ago.

Do you think these leaves would have blocked air and weather so the roots never
went through the real "winter thing"? They were so tall and pretty last year--
hard to accept that they won't come back.
Have to start looking for new ones....maybe HD will get some in?

These pics re from June, 2013. They did so well--after one year already.
