krobra said:This is not something I bought (not that I wouldn't) I did enjoy the purple one I ended up with and collected seeds from both the purple and red salvia splendens we had, as well as started a few plants of both for this year. They were blooming when mom brought them home in mid May until first frost I am sure ( last photo I have of it is on Sept 10)
Most of ours were planted in small or mixed containers and did not have room enough to get as big as I believe they would of if given more space , but did well even though they were being attacked by mealybugs near the end of the season , but sadly that is not unusual for most plants here.
