Greetings,
Several years ago I purchased a plant labeled Salvia 'Wild Watermelon'
from Tony Avent at Plants Delight.  It has since become a fast favorite,
much admired by visitors.  Does anyone know its history?  The leaves
look like a toss-up between greggii and microphylla-perhaps it is a
cross between the two?

Second question centers on Salvia discolor, another pet.
 For the past several years I have hand-pollinated it, but it has yet to
set seed.  Is it sterile.  If so, do cuttings root easily?

Best,
