We’re planting Salvia for its superb show<br />
This shrubby upright perennial salvia produces endless spikes of large dark<br />
purple, pink or orange-red blooms that attract bees and stand out against<br />
the dark green leaves. Plants flower from spring to autumn and even through<br />
winter in warmer areas. Growing 60 to 80cm high and wide, it is a good filler<br />
for beds or as a feature in a large container. Plants are frost-hardy, performing<br />
best in full sun in fertile well-drained soil. Like all salvia, they need moderate<br />
watering and the soil can dry out between waterings. For strong growth, cut<br />
back in spring, fertilise and water well. Details: www.ballstraathof.co.za.<br />

Gardens of the Golden City at<br />
Random Harvest, Muldersdrift on<br />
9 and 10 <strong>Nov</strong>ember from 8.30am<br />
to 5pm. A visit to this garden<br />
includes opportunities to walk on<br />
the farm, through the restored<br />
grassland and to the dam. There will<br />
be conservation gardening talks<br />
particularly on grey and rainwater<br />
harvesting, and over 800 indigenous<br />
plants are available to purchase<br />
from the nursery. Random Harvest’s<br />
gardens feature a variety of carefully<br />
created habitats for wildlife. Birds<br />
(169 species on their list!), many<br />
pollinating insects and other<br />
creatures abound in the sanctuary<br />
provided for them. The gardens are<br />
run on natural principles without<br />
the use of harmful pesticides,<br />
which accounts for the quantity<br />
and diversity of creatures present.<br />
Of interest are the beautiful<br />
indigenous trees, many of which<br />
are pruned for their sculptural value.<br />
Entrance: R30 per person, children<br />
under 12 years free. Details: 011<br />
