Since there isn't a forum for Salvias & Agastaches, this seems a decent forum to post about them since they can be good cottage garden plants.

This is one of my favorite groups of plants for both their beauty and their attractiveness to hummingbirds and other pollinators. I'm not even sure how many varieties I have right now but it's definitely over 25. When I get to a computer that isn't flaky, I can hopefully post some more photos.

Here's Salvia leucantha 'Ferpink' at the UGA Trial Gardens in Athens, GA a few years ago. This cultivar is also sold under the names of 'Danielle's Dream' and 'Pink Velour' depending on the country. I just got a small plant this spring and look forward to a few blooms this fall.
