I am going away in the winter for 6 weeks, my many salvias , mature and cuttings are going in an uheated greenhouse, will they survive without any water . I will be so upset to loose them, there are quite a few different types??? Help please
Your salvias should do fine, don't worry.
Ah thank you , that's good to hear
I think they'll be better off without watering - cold and dryish is better than cold and wet.
Enjoy your holiday

@aym280,
You made me laugh (again) when you mentioned your salvia 'royal rumble'. Of course you meant Salvia greggii 'Royal Bumble', see http://www.gardenersworld.com/plants/plant-finder/salvia-greggii-royal-bumble/ , not Royal Rumble: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Rumble
Funny how one letter can make a world of difference.
