Will these Salvias be hardy for me?

Hi I'm in N. Georgia and I purchased these two Salvia as annuals.
S. leucantha 'Golden Delicious' and S. coccinea 'Coral Nymph'
Do you think I will be able to over winter them here? If not, what is the best way to propagate them?
I have another leucantha and some greggii that do fine with our cold wet winters. |

ilikemud2007:
I have heard of S.rutilians "Golden Delicious" which
is not reliable for me. The S. coccinea "Coral Nymph" is
the same (not reliable). Propagation of both can be done w/cuttings. The S.Coral Nymph can be planted from seed also.There is a form of S.leucantha called "Eder" which is variegated.
Your hardiness if they are new plants just being put in the ground will not have a good chance at wintering over. Established plants do much better over winter.

Thanks, Art. When I purchased Golden it was called luecantha but I see that you're correct. Thanks.
I think I'll take some cuttings and see what happens.
Right now they are both blooming like mad.
They have been in the ground since early summer and are quite large. |
