    During the Summer of 2006 while looking at plants at my local Lowe's, I saw this gorgeous Salvia and just had to have it! I had never seen it offered before or since then. We don't usually get wonderful Salvias ((Autumn Sage (Salvia greggii)), so I was especially excited to see it! It survived the Winter of 2006 and came back even more beautiful in 2007. I wished I had picked up more than one, as the wall it was planted in front of came down December 26, 2007 and I've never seen it grow again.

    I'd love to grow it again!
