Well after my disappointment at losing the seedlings and cuttings I took, I did some more reading. I watched FBTS you tube videos again- I highly recommend them if anyone hasn't seen them- Kermit did one on propagating salvias from seed and another about taking cuttings and potting them. So I have decided it was so much fun (besides the attractiveness of saving some money), I am not giving up!! So I ordered some seeds from Robin Middleton from the UK and am going to start them indoors and hopefully will have some ready to plant by April or early May. of course I will also be purchasing more salvia and Agastache plants this year!
