Purchased this beauty from FBTS, each year since it was new. Love this wonderful Salvia! Gorgeous 'large' flowers. Love the color of them.
One year I planted it in a 24 inch container along with Salvia 'Scarlet Spires' and I figured if it didn't grow back in the spring, then I'd happily get another on from Flowers By The Sea.
Next year when I place a new order from FBTS, I'm going to plant it into the ground instead of into a container, as I think it will grow and bloom a lot better than in a large container.
I have to try and remember to grow it on the drier side each time to help with getting straighter stems and not lax and falling over.
