    • I purchased one of these to replace a similar plant that had gotten very small over the past 1-2 years. This plant was so beautiful, I had to go back to the nursery to buy a 2nd one, as the plant next to it was also looking sparse. The honey bees LOVE this plant.

    • Planted this spring as underplant for climbing roses on garden wall. Some plans survived; one or two died. None of the surviving plants is erect. Plants bloom and look healthy but lie along the ground.

    • This plant is beautiful! Wow, this salvia can perform. I’m zone 5b and it’s incredible. I have 6 and they bloom and rebloom remarkably. They always have pollinators on them. Highly recommend. Vibrant color. I deadhead occasionally.
