Hi. I was reading the June 2016 Fine Gardening magazine and it has a big section on Salvias. One of the top recommendations is a type called Caradonna (S. nemorosa). I'd like to get it. So I googled for Caradonna seeds and didn't get any true hits other than one person on eBay, which I'm not sure I trust.

Does anyone know of a good place to get these seeds? I would think that if it's such a top performing plant that it would be easy to get, right?

(I don't really understand the garden.org seed swap either. And I don't have any seeds to trade other than the little seed packets that I got at Home Depot)

Your help would be greatly appreciated!

p.s. I mis-typed the name in the title...it's Caradonna (not Carafonna)

Sage (Salvia nemorosa 'Caradonna') sure is a beauty! I googled and found this page: http://www.gpnmag.com/article/... and near the bottom under Availability it says Cardonna has just been introduced to the market and may be difficult to find but it lists a couple of places that may carry it.

Hopefully other members who grow this lovely Salvia will be along soon to offer suggestions.

Can't be that new with that many photos, some dating back to 2011.

Bluestone seems to have plants in stock https://www.bluestoneperennial...

There is also a Salvia sylvestris Caradonna listed http://www.highcountrygardens.... wonder if it's the same.
I didn't see any Ebay seeds, just some on Etsy. Vendor seems to have great reviews.

LOL, that website I linked to didn't have a date ... must be old, like me!
