<< While browsing various catalogs for Salvia 'Blue Mound' (a.k.a. 'Blau

listings. Can anyone enlighten me on this puzzler? The Chicago Botanic
Garden, which recently did a study on Salvias for the Midwest, identifies it
as the 'x sylvestris'. I didn't think 'Blue Mound' was available in more
than
one species.
Thanks,

All the above names could be called right.
Both superba and sylvestris are hybrids.
The blood lines include nemorosa and pratensis.
