I bought a Salvia thymoides plant last year. I was told it was a tender perennial. It has small greyish leaves, had lovely blue flowers and produced many flowing shoots that were very attractive in a hanging basket. It does not bear much resemblance to any sage I know, nor does it have the fragrance of a thyme.To propagate a plant from cuttings you must be sure to take semi-ripe shoot tips -tips that have become a bit woody. Let the cut ends callus over for a few hours before dipping the cut end in a rooting hormone and then sticking the cut end into a pot of sterilized sandy potting mix. Water, allow to drain and enclose in a clean plastic bag and put in a bright but not sunny spot - preferably with some bottom heat.
I would like to propagate more of this "Salvia thymoides", but have had little success with cuttings.
Suggestions please?
