Goodness! Linda
That is quite a list of Salvia to look into. I certainly do appreciate
all the information you have passed along so freely. I will be
purchasing/trading for some Salvia that will work for me here in my zone 6
garden. See how they do for a while in the garden, then perhaps add some to
the nursery inventory. Right now, it is time to play with a few and see
where it all leads.
