Two different plants registered with the same name, only the older of the two (Salter's) is not in the registry?

Love this big flower. I grow it next to Quote The Raven because I like how their colors play off each other.

"Salvia amplexicaulis is a herbaceous perennial that is native to southeastern Europe. It is a close relative of Salvia nemorosa. Its specific epithet, amplexicaulis, refers to the "stem-clasping" stem leaves which have no stalks. Violet-blue flowers grow closely together in whorls, forming a nearly continuous spike, with plants reaching up to 3 feet tall."

Unusual color. Hard to capture on camera.

The pink shading in the base of the standards is more prominent than this pic shows. Grows very well and multiplies here in Indiana and that most likely comes from the 'Peace and Harmony' genes since 'Spring Tidings' is much less vigorous here.

The base is a light, lemon-sherbet yellow very early in the morning.

First year in my yard. No information yet on vigor, etc. Is planted in clay soil with a LOT of 2-3 inch rocks (think a previous owner many years ago had put in a parking pad there)

My clump gets bigger every year.

Reseeds for me and seems to come true.

Beautiful, huge red flower. It took mine several years to establish itself & bloom, but it was worth the wait.
Schreiner's Garden lists this as a 4 1/4" x 6 3/4" flower with four-branched stems bearing 8-10 flowers.

I love this daylily. It's a strong grower, increases well, sturdy scapes with lots of buds blooming over a long period, dark red blooms that reliably double. One of my favorites.

Love this plant! The color is intense and it doubles consistently in my central MD garden. It is also pod fertile for me.

Blooms late July into to August in my Central MD garden.

Pollen and Pod Fertile, also a very good increaser. Looks lovely with blue verbena and shasta daisy companion plants too.

A lovely flower, but not as sunfast as I had hoped. Tends to run more on the burgundy side than the purple side for me.

This is a very prolific wildflower...seen along roads and in fields.

Peach Crisp is still small for me, but the color is vivid..

Every Mid-April to May I am delighted by this flower. It blooms for about a month & has a heavenly fragrance. Sometimes I think it smells lightly of grape soda & other times I think it smells like a fine soap. It's my favorite spring wildflower.

Even though this is a deer resistant plant, we have a large local deer population & they have eaten the flowers off of some of our shooting stars.

Nice tall iris that doesn't flop over. Beautifully saturated falls, they absolutely glow. This one of my favorite iris!
Schreiner's Garden lists this as having three branches with 8-9 flowers.

Beautiful vibrant purple falls. It is fantastically tall & doesn't flop over.
