[quote="utahxericman"]My most disappointing Salvias last year as far as growth and bloom time goes were Elk Blue Moon II, Elk Plum Parfait, Lowrey's Peach, Shell Dancer, Black Cherry and Wild Watermelon. If they don't return I don't think I will be buying them again.

Salvia microphylla and most S. x jamensis are generally not the best choices for this climate, favoring a more humid environment. There are exceptions. But in this general type of Salvia, s. greggii is the best adapted.
Black Cherry has declined in vigor in the last few years. We have dropped it. Perhaps somewhere out there a vigorous one remains, but most in the trade now are not what they were a decade ago.
