Re: does this page make sense?/Salvia uliginosa

The description of S. uliginosa is correct. I have some. I planted it last year, and after the first couple of weeks it was planted I stopped watering. We had an awful drought last summer, and that plant did great. In fact it was evergreen over the winter. It's still doing great. It acts like all the other salvias that I love because it requires virtually no care at all.

This is a weird site. I tried using the Plant Finder. I put in zone 8 and
drought tolerant as my only criteria. I got back one plant - Salvia
uliginosa, bog sage - which says it grows in moist soil near ponds. And then
it says it's one of the most drought-tolerant plants. Say what? So then I
tried putting in zone 7 and drought tolerant, got back a longer list of
plants which look more like what I expected. Zone 6 gives me even a slightly
different set. But all of those grow in zone 8. I can see where you wouldn't
want something hardy to zone 8 recommended for zone 6, but the other way
around should be fine.

That is very definitely an "oops" page- the webmaster goofed!
