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.

Beautiful and colorful container collection. Love the little angel holding the bird in front of the pots. They all looked healthy in your pics.
