Fwd: salvias

Admittedly, I've never met a salvia I didn't like.  (Well, maybe one or two). 
 For hues in the magenta range, you may wish to try Salvia chiapensis.  I 
have seen two plants labeled as such, one with larger leaves and overall size 
(about 30" x 30") and a smaller version I have grown that remained tidy at 
about 18" x 18".  I presume this garden-worthy salvia hails from Chiapas, 
Mexico.  It does not have any unruly habits and mounds nicely with a frequent 
casting of blooms through spring and summer.  I purchased it from Jim Duggan 
at Encinitas Gardens, Encinitas, California.  (I've not seen it in catalogs). 
 He may be able to steer you to a wholesaler.

Anyone have suggestions for medit salvias in the magenta end of the spectrum?
Thanks.  Deb Ferber
