This tall long blooming beauty is from Colombia. It's a water loving salvia, so keep that in mind if you decide to grow it. If grown in a container, it's going to need a larger container than a 3 gallon pot. I've thought about growing it, but with our hot and sometimes lengthy dry summers, I might have to give a lot of thought to it if I want to grow it. A plus for it is that it attracts hummingbirds.
