Hi Stephen! It's a great "tender perennial" variety and can be a perennial depending where you live. Thanks for watching! Have a great week! All the best, -Mark
Hi Arelette! I'm glad you did! Thank you! I love deep, rich purple too. My videos.....thank you! So kind of you. Thanks for watching! Have a great week! All the best, -Mark
All of Mark's videos always get me a bit salvia if I'm honest..... Did I say Salvia? I meant salivating. But in less unrefined terms - I just love how calming and assuredly positive your energy is, you're such a treasure :)
That's great! I get 6 months of full color out of that Salvia and it is in full bloom that entire time. Cool, hot, whatever, it blooms. It does get a little darker blue when it cools down. Thanks for watching! Have a great weekend! All the best, -Mark
Hey Michael! What in the world are you doing up this early in the am! I really loved seeing your pics.! I love those Holly. They are so large and when your walking down in that garden, it just feels a little overwhelming. What's up for the weekend? All my best, -Mark
@@marksgardenlife5971 The Holly's are beautiful. I need to get a few, I'm very envious of them. I'm in bed trying to get to sleep but I had to many espressos today so here I am at 3am on UA-cam. Not much planned, I need to get one of the vegetable beds ready for carrots and beetroots but it may be a bit wet for the tractor but we'll see we had 4" of rain this week. How about yourself?
Hey Michael! Nellie Stevens are an excellent, very tough Holly. I'd say the only bad thing is that they have to be at least lightly trimmed every year to prevent them from growing to open like. 3am oh no! lol Going to be a later sleeping morning! 4" ! That's a lot of rain! Is this a rainy time of year in NZ? I'm doing some filming here at home up in the new Holly grove and than editing that and than filming again tomorrow at a friends orchard.

@@marksgardenlife5971 I will have to keep my eye out for them. We have a good tree nursery half hour away, so I will have to go in when they reopen to the public. In my part of the world (Aus 🙄🤭) 4" is average I guess for a stormy week. We average 72" a year so it can be very wet. But in a drought year we can get as low as 18".

Hey Michael! That is a lot of rain! How much of the year are you green? The area you live is just beautiful! You are very fortunate to live in such a beautiful place. The town, the farm where you live. It's all beautiful!
Salvia was always a go to. I used to like planting the blue, red and white in different beds, although the red always needed dead heading, where the blue and white did not and just kept going and going all season.
Hi Michael! The blue, red and white are the annual types. The type like I have in the video is what you consider a "tender perennial" in this area, but south of me, it can be a perennial. Salvias are a great flowering annual and perennial. Thanks so much for watching and commenting too! Have a great week! All the best, -Mark
Thanks for sharing your beautiful garden with us...... lovely flowers, takes my mind to the garden of Eden. Makes you wonder what flowers would really look like in a world with no sin.
Hey Dan! There are so many varieties and sizes of salvia as well as some are annuals, some perennials. I bet that is pretty! Thanks for watching! Have a great week! All the best, -Mark
I'll have to let my son and daughter in law know know about this salvia. She is starting a new perennial garden and wants a purple flower theme. Thanks for the good tip.
Hi! It's an incredible variety. I get 6 full months of full color out of it before a hard freeze takes it. Thanks for watching! Have a great weekend! All my best, -Mark
I want to have a closer look.. Hope u give closer look of plants...So that I can identify them and remember 🤓🤓 Purple flower bed is heaven for pollinators...
Love your formal garden Mark! Everything always looks beautiful and so well maintained. Another awesome video and looking forward to the next one already! ☺️❤️
I love salvia just about every type. I have never herd of Mystic Spires. I will definitely look for it next year. Thanks again for another great video.
Hi Marc! Salvia is a great annual, perennial! Mystic Spires.....one of my favorite varieties. I hope you can find it. Thanks for watching! Marc, have a great week. All the best, -Mark
Hello Mark. Salvias are one of my favorite plants, especially blue ones like Mystic Spires Blue. I have salvias all over my yard and most bloom until the first frost here near Monterey, California and fortunately they are a perennial in this area. I planted them primarily for the hummingbirds which they love. Thanks again for the great work and dedication to your fun-filled life! Always look forward to your new videos and education.
Hi Dennis! Isn't that a great variety! I've stayed the night in Monterey 3 years ago on my trip driving down the west coast from Washington to LA. I was within walking distance of the beach. I didn't even realize you guys had a frost there. I loved Carmel too. Have you visited Filoli House and Gardens in Woodside CA? I got some great ideas while visting there. Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate you watching too! Have a great week! All my best, -Mark
Mark, I love Mystic Spires as well; in fact, I love all of the salvias. As you said, they are great for the pollinators and hummingbirds. I have had Mystic Spires over-winter for me if it does not get too cold or wet. The last several winters here in central NJ have been mild enough to have them return in the spring. Keep up the great videos Mark; I always look forward to watching them.
Hi Robert! It really is a great variety and can be perennial depending where you live. It's a little to cold here for it to winter over. The videos.....thank you. That's very kind of you! Thanks for watching! Robert, have a great week! All my best, -Mark
beautiful salvia garden. I always plant salvia different kinds and colrs. I have tons of red salvia. Bees and hummingbirds just go crazy for them. Plus like you said they last for tawhile. usually one of the last plants to die in the yard. Bees and hummingbirds need to feed as all the other flowers they like start to die off. Good luck getting those cannas out...lol....need to see a video on that one. take care and thanks for the video once again.
Hi Matt! Thank you! Glad you liked it. The bees and hummingbirds really do love them, don't they! The video...all my pleasure! Thank you and I appreciate you watching! Have a great week! All the best, -Mark
Hi Mark. I love the purple salvia. I have a small clump next to some lavender. I like the way you have the yellow pansies next to the purple - yellow and purple really go well together.
Hi Mark! How you doing, i hope you're doing well. Salvias are becoming one of my favorite annuals, there so beautiful the color is an eye popper, beneficial bugs and bird attractive, i have seedlings of 3 type salvias blue bedder, white and a perennial blue there almost ready to be plated out in the garden and that Canna is huge i have the red one, and the bi-color yellow with red stripes is from seeds that i have started, also i can see from the background that the trees are starting to turn yellow and red, i hope you are going to do a video of all the trees you have around you that are turning the fall colors, i bet it will all look beautiful. Best Gabby :)
Hey Gabby! Doing well, thanks! You'll find the perennial Salvia can really be longer lasting. The fall color here....you know Gabby, the falls are so much warmer in the mid atlantic states, that we don't get the color we once had. Frost hit later in the fall and that's what brings the color, but in many cases, the leaves have already browned. In the colder northern states such as Vermont, New Hampshire, etc. the color is still incredible, but even that's a little later than it used to be. Thanks for watching! Have a great week! All my best, -Mark
I grow Salvia splendens (a Brazilian Salvia) and Salvia leucantha 'Danielles Dream' (a pink Mexican Salvia) and they really are the best outdoor plants. Some Salvias like clevelandii and pachyphylla have great leaf fragrances too!
Thank you for sharing that with us. I appreciate that. I love the Danielles Dream and am going to try and find that one. Thanks for watching too! Have a great week! All the best, -Mark
Those are beautiful I planted some a few years ago and the things have come back the last two summers but not as glorious as the first year. But I let them be
Stunning and I agree I love Salvia's def one of my favorites for a circular bed we edge ours in geraniums too. In Europe I've not seen that variety but that's not unusual.... Mark can I ask you... How many Acres do you guy's have for planting?
Hi! Geraniums edging that would look terrific as well! The property is actually several hundred acres, but the area that is used around the house for gardens, etc., is approx. 30 acres. Thanks for watching! Have a great weekend! All my best, -Mark
Now that's impressing Mark! I'm also impressed by the way the trees are kept trimmed! Beautiful, I always look forward to a video coming from you. By the way, did you get all the other trees planted? Thanks so much for sharing Mark, hope you are having a great week.
Hi Neil! The trees....I like them trimmed like that too! Yes, all the holly were planted. Sharing.......Neil, it's all my pleasure! Thanks for watching! Neil, have a great week! All the best, -Mark
I love SALVIA :) Great color!!! Here in the desert everything is yellow or red. Not sure the variety I have. It was sold under the name of midnight blue
Hi Mark! I love Salvia too. Lovely small garden. Do you have any nice Fall colors happening there now? (I spelt it the American way for you.. in Canada it would 'colour'!! 🤣). Have a great weekend.
Hi Linda! Thank you! You know, we are still mostly green here. We should have pretty good color by beginning of Nov. if we get some cold, which we haven't had yet. I guess you've probably lost your leaves up there by now? Thanks for watching! Have a great weekend! All my best, -Mark
@@marksgardenlife5971 Yes beautiful colours here now, especially further north where it's colder. Most leaves still on everywhere. They don't fall for few more weeks when colder and windier.
Here is Maryland, we have been having much warmer falls than in the past. I'm not complaining either! I like it! But the leaf color is much less and the color really doesn't come until Nov. for the most part. I thought it would be much earlier up in Canada. That surprises me. Thank you, -Mark
@@marksgardenlife5971 Where I live it is also warmer in the last 20+ years = not as much snow, affecting timing of leaf change, etc. That's global warming at work, affecting all of Canada and eveywhere around the world. I love talking about similarities and differences of countries (I love travelling and been to many... can't wait for travel to open up again). Well I'm sure you're awfully busy Mark so I won't keep you. Thanks for your time in responding.
Those colors really pop with the background of e.g. arbs, Nelly Stevens and the leaves changing on the sycamore trees. What was summer planted before being replaced by the pansies?
Hi Wayne! I had Calibrachoa there prior to the pansies and we had a hot, humid, cloudy period back in late August for a week and so many of them rotted off because they were in full bloom. So I pulled them out. Thanks for watching! Have a great week! All the best, -Mark
Hi Mark. Once again a superb video. Thank you for sharing. Question: Are Salvia "Deer Resistant"? I ask because when we plant summer annuals we always purchase flowers that the deer will not eat nor destroy. My mom's property out on Long Island (2.5 acres) seems to be a Bed and Breakfast for deer. It's a major problem. Your Salvia garden is absolutely beautiful with the stunning cone shaped shrubs (or are they trees?) aligning the garden. Looking forward to your follow up video regarding the transplanting of the trees where you plan on putting in a new pond too. Wishing you the best always from across the miles here in NYC. Ciao. Jonathan
Hi Jonathan! For the most part, yes. Deer do not like the leaf scent. The cone shape are trees. Nellie Stevens Holly The lake....it will still be quite a while. The permit process is very long here in MD. And the same for you. Thank you! Jonathan, you have a great week! All my best, -Mark
I’ve had red salvia that performed great this summer at the S.New Jersey Shore. Are they the original type of salvia? Do you plant those also? Like the videos and your relaxed manner. Good job🪴
Hey Woody! There are so many types of red Salvia. Do you remember the variety? My videos....Thank you! I appreciate your compliments. Thanks for watching! Have a great week! All the best, -Mark
Beautiful, especially the circular presentation. Salvia seems to give up the blooming process far too early in my garden (and in the gardens of my friends); blooming stopped maybe a month or two ago. I wonder if high altitude has anything to do with that? Any ideas?
@@marksgardenlife5971 Yes, mine are perennials. I need to pay closer attention to your video titles. Your title clearly shows ". . . . My Favorite Annuals . . ." Sorry about that.
Hi Burton! How you been? There are a lot of variables in that question. Location is a big one. Personally, I think they are a great idea to bring late color to what can be a very gloomy time of year. Of course the warmer your climate, the more you can get away with in what you are able to use in containers. Have a great weekend! All my best, -Mark
@@marksgardenlife5971 I'm good thanks for asking, ima need a late season container video fo sho! Oh and do y'all put Christmas lights on the big topiaries behind you in this video?
Hey NH! No, from cuttings. We have bees here as well. We got 120 lbs of honey this year off the 3 hives. The bees absolutely love it and it blooms here for 6 months. Thanks for watching! Have a great week! All my best, -Mark
Hi CM! Here in my area, it isn't hardy enough to survive. Now in protected areas such as Baltimore City, it may survive the winter cold. It all depends on the area which you live. Thanks for watching! Have a great weekend! All my best, -Mark
I can’t quite see the flowers from this far if only you could zoom in the camera a little so we can have a closer look how they look like, or maybe add some photos to the video ?
Hi Ambence! We typically do close-ups, but we filmed that with another camera earlier in the day and when I went to edit it, I realized we had a camera problem and we rushed right before dark to film it again and just didn't have the light to do close-ups when that was filmed the 2nd time. I'm sorry about that. Thanks for watching! Have a great week! All the best, -Mark
@@marksgardenlife5971 Windsor Ontario……..they start coming up very early in spring, when tulips are popping up……bloom end of May - July 1 than done. Maybe the breed? Thanks Mark
They are a perennial Salvia than, so that's why. You may get a slight re-bloom late summer, early fall possibly? Try the Mystic Spires next year. The annual types like that would do great for you.
Nice to see how erect they stay, especially at this time when many stalks are floppy.
Great tip, and I'll definitely use it!
Thanks!!😊

Here is Maryland, we have been having much warmer falls than in the past. I'm not complaining either! I like it! But the leaf color is much less and the color really doesn't come until Nov. for the most part. I thought it would be much earlier up in Canada. That surprises me. Thank you, -Mark
@@marksgardenlife5971 Where I live it is also warmer in the last 20+ years = not as much snow, affecting timing of leaf change, etc. That's global warming at work, affecting all of Canada and eveywhere around the world.
I love talking about similarities and differences of countries (I love travelling and been to many... can't wait for travel to open up again). Well I'm sure you're awfully busy Mark so I won't keep you. Thanks for your time in responding.
Global warming is here to stay. The same here in the last 20 years and it seems to be speeding up. What countries have been your favorites?
Those colors really pop with the background of e.g. arbs, Nelly Stevens and the leaves changing on the sycamore trees. What was summer planted before being replaced by the pansies?
Hi Wayne!
I had Calibrachoa there prior to the pansies and we had a hot, humid, cloudy period back in late August for a week and so many of them rotted off because they were in full bloom. So I pulled them out. Thanks for watching!
Have a great week! All the best, -Mark
Hi Mark. Once again a superb video. Thank you for sharing. Question: Are Salvia "Deer Resistant"? I ask because when we plant summer annuals we always purchase flowers that the deer will not eat nor destroy. My mom's property out on Long Island (2.5 acres) seems to be a Bed and Breakfast for deer. It's a major problem. Your Salvia garden is absolutely beautiful with the stunning cone shaped shrubs (or are they trees?) aligning the garden. Looking forward to your follow up video regarding the transplanting of the trees where you plan on putting in a new pond too. Wishing you the best always from across the miles here in NYC. Ciao. Jonathan
Plants with strong smelling leaves aren’t preferred by deer so you may be safe but when they have no other options, they may still browse them.
Hi Jonathan!
For the most part, yes. Deer do not like the leaf scent. The cone shape are trees. Nellie Stevens Holly The lake....it will still be quite a while. The permit process is very long here in MD. And the same for you. Thank you!
Jonathan, you have a great week! All my best, -Mark
Very pretty. Where is Holly?
Thank you! Holly was there, but laying off camera. Thanks for watching!
Have a great day!
All my best, -Mark
I’ve had red salvia that performed great this summer at the S.New Jersey Shore.
Are they the original type of salvia? Do you plant those also? Like the videos and your relaxed manner. Good job🪴
Hey Woody!
There are so many types of red Salvia. Do you remember the variety? My videos....Thank you! I appreciate your compliments. Thanks for watching!
Have a great week! All the best, -Mark
Road trip to Florida soon 💨🥶
Hey Jeffrey!
Take me along! lol
@@marksgardenlife5971 I am am already in Florida, LOL I was giving you a warning
I'm going to be in Fl in December.
Hmm I don't think of Salvia's as annuals here. Pretty much Perrineals in our weather (So. Cal). Though I think we're in for a cold winter.
Hi James!
Even if you guys have a colder winter, they will probably still overwinter. Thanks for watching!
Have a great week! All the best, -Mark
Beautiful, especially the circular presentation. Salvia seems to give up the blooming process far too early in my garden (and in the gardens of my friends); blooming stopped maybe a month or two ago. I wonder if high altitude has anything to do with that? Any ideas?
Hey Doug!
I'm glad you like it. When did your Salvia start blooming?
@@marksgardenlife5971 My memory isn't as good as yours, but I'm thinking it starts blooming in early summer?
It's a perennial Salvia than. Will bloom 4 to 8 weeks for most.
@@marksgardenlife5971 Yes, mine are perennials. I need to pay closer attention to your video titles. Your title clearly shows ". . . . My Favorite Annuals . . ." Sorry about that.
How many salvia did you plant and what was the spacing? Amazing.
Hey Steve!
The salvia were planted approx. 12 inches apart. Planted from 4.5" pots. Thanks for watching!

Interested to know your thoughts on late season containers
Hi Burton!
How you been?
There are a lot of variables in that question. Location is a big one. Personally, I think they are a great idea to bring late color to what can be a very gloomy time of year. Of course the warmer your climate, the more you can get away with in what you are able to use in containers.
Have a great weekend!
All my best, -Mark
@@marksgardenlife5971 I'm good thanks for asking, ima need a late season container video fo sho! Oh and do y'all put Christmas lights on the big topiaries behind you in this video?
Pansies, flowering cabbage, kale are all good choices. No, no christmas lights. I hate to admit it, but none anywhere.
Hi Mark. can you please recommend a website to buy annual seeds?
Hi Thien!
There are so many. I'd just search the net. Park seed is one that comes to mind. Burpee another. Hope that helps!
Do you start this salvia from seed? We raise bees; always looking for plants to add to the bee yard.
Hey NH!
No, from cuttings. We have bees here as well. We got 120 lbs of honey this year off the 3 hives. The bees absolutely love it and it blooms here for 6 months. Thanks for watching!
Have a great week! All my best, -Mark
So…once you get a severe hard frost on the salvia, does it die or does it go dormant for the next season?
Hi CM!
Here in my area, it isn't hardy enough to survive. Now in protected areas such as Baltimore City, it may survive the winter cold. It all depends on the area which you live. Thanks for watching!
Have a great weekend!
All my best, -Mark
I can’t quite see the flowers from this far if only you could zoom in the camera a little so we can have a closer look how they look like, or maybe add some photos to the video ?
Hi Ambence!
We typically do close-ups, but we filmed that with another camera earlier in the day and when I went to edit it, I realized we had a camera problem and we rushed right before dark to film it again and just didn't have the light to do close-ups when that was filmed the 2nd time. I'm sorry about that. Thanks for watching!
Have a great week! All the best, -Mark
Thank you Mark, love your video, they’re amazing, educational and fun to watch. I look forward watching your new videos💕
Thank you! I really appreciate that.
Mine bloom June and July that’s it…what am i doing wrong
Are you deadheading them?
What part of the country are you in?
@@marksgardenlife5971 Windsor Ontario……..they start coming up very early in spring, when tulips are popping up……bloom end of May - July 1 than done.
Maybe the breed? Thanks Mark
They are a perennial Salvia than, so that's why. You may get a slight re-bloom late summer, early fall possibly? Try the Mystic Spires next year. The annual types like that would do great for you.
Mark, please give the name of the cone shape trees
Hi Shirley!
Nellie Stevens Holly
Do you know if it is propagated from cuttings or seed?
Hi Mike!
Cuttings
I thought the yellow was marigold at first
Hi Suzanne!
That is a really bright yellow and it blooms all winter long. I love it! Thanks for watching!
Have a great weekend!
All my best, -Mark
What is the yellow around the base?
Pansies
