Hi Kathy, I can't help with your phlox question, but I see you have Salvia
gregii. I started some from traded seed this year and just planted them out
and I know nothing about them. I take it they're a perennial? Can you tell
me anything about them - how big they get, color of bloom, what zones they
grow in? Thanks, Linda
