    When I saw the pics in 2013 on FBTS for this beauty, I knew I had to grow it!

    It bloomed constantly and the flowers are "drop dead gorgeous". Even though it's hardy for my zone, I had it in a large tub on our sunny patio with a few other Salvias, so I could see it all the time from the house.

    Love the flower color and have another one ordered this year in case the last one didn't survive our winter.

    A treasured Salvia!
