No, they never showed interest in our salvia either.  
Monarda!  This is where they spent most of their time, and we have all the
traditional hummer plants (coral bells, geranium, impatiens, etc.).  We
have seen them visit other plants, but the big winner here is monarda.  The
Marshills Delight, especially, seemed to draw them.

Here is a site which is devoted to hummers, and should give you tips on any
questions you have about attracting them and keeping them happy.
