Muddy--

My B&B Salvias are all still blooming too.
How do you plant to treat them so they make it through he winter?

So far--I have thrown a good layer of dried leaves over all the lower level..
Hope they make it. I have 3 growing since late summer (got all the deals
at MD Flower and Foliage).
Mt Purple Cone flowers are still going too.

Here is a picture of the Iris that had 3 stems and a bunch of bloom buds.
I did cut them all back last Monday when we had all the frost. They are now in water.

One opened up yesterday--it is a beautiful yellow.
I must have planted it there--but I don't remember for sure why???.
I may dig it up in spring and give it a more noteworthy spot.
