I was at a local nursery and they had plants labeled as Salvia greggii 'Apricot'. Flowers were deep apricot fading to yellowish with age. The leaves were more like S. greggii than S. microphylla but some leaves were on the larger & rounder side than normal so those could be "summer leaves" or, possibly, suggests it may be a hybrid, like S. x jamensis.
They were on the pricey side so I passed this time because I am getting 'Lowry's Peach' from another place (at almost 1/3 the price) and wasn't sure if they were the same. When I see a name like 'Apricot', it makes me suspicious that someone just lost the tag for a named cultivar and assigned it a new name based solely on its color.
However, I just got a 40% off coupon so I may go back and reconsider when I'm nearby this week.
I found this when searching and believe it could be the same plant, even though the color is slightly different. Cameras & climates, you know...
