Free Salvia Book
Richard is writing a book on salvia. The book lists most of the salvia he grows (over 100 varieties) along with pertinent facts about each plant.....growing conditions, place of origin, hardiness whether it is known or a guestimation, etc. If you would like an unedited draft of the book you may email me at
