    I found blooming one-gallon pots of this salvia this summer at our local Meijer store and got one. Wished I'd bought more of them at the time. I never got around to plant it into a container and/or into the ground, but it was constantly in bloom on our porch in the pot in came in through the fall.

    The Grandstand salvia series was bred to produce new flowers all season, which I hadn't known when I bought it. They only had the red color, but there are other colors in this series. Whenever I see a Grandstand salvia available, I'm getting at least one of them.
