| I have had Salvia Greggii planted for 4 years and were doing great. This year they are looking sick, I wonder if this wet weather is having an affect? What if any thing can I do except pray for hot dry weather? |

| Yes, they have lost most of their foilage, this spring they were in great shape with many flowers. I have cut back which I usually do in July to prompte more flowers. |

| Well I think that if they did great up till now, and you don't see any pests, then it probably was all the rain. They like to stay dry. Make sure they are in a well drained bed and get lots of sun. |

| Mine wilt very quickly if I let them get dry. I have them in the ground and in pots. They need water every day in pots. Otherwise, mine are thick and lush. |
