I love the way you use plants - it looks so natural, and yet so pleasing and harmonious you know it must have been designed that way. Here in the UK, as you will know, all the colour is slowly fading (or being blown off the trees by a howling gale!)Victoria Summerleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055381807236106596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-28460144897385300642014-10-16T04:55:11.200-07:002014-10-16T04:55:11.200-07:00I tried that liatris but the deer liked it too muc...I tried that liatris but the deer liked it too much. WAY too much. I'll console myself with your photos. I am a huge fan of Tagetes lucida as well, I use it in cooking fairly regularly but I think other than the flowers what I like best is how wonderful it smells whenever you brush by. If I were gardening just for the fragrance, I'd have beds filled primarily with rosemary, tagetes, TexasDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214888876514137890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-54945316380215264482014-10-16T04:19:45.192-07:002014-10-16T04:19:45.192-07:00The first time I planted this the deer ate it.

I used to have the earlier blooming one, which was much smaller but it has disappeared. This one seeds heavily.

I have been trying to find it here in Spain for a while now, but to no avail. I have recently been looking on French websites, but I keep getting sidetracked by all the lovely sages... how to choose?

I'm not sure if I should blame the bunnies or our groundhog, as they're over in critter territory. Your salvia is so pretty!

I had several different species but the deer loved them as much as I did. :(<br /><br />Salvia leucantha is so wonderful, but by the time it blooms here the hummingbirds have moved on. I still love the fuzzy purple blooms though!Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13393082652312828458noreply@blogger.com
