I'm so sorry to hear of Rich's passing. I didn't have the pleasure meeting him, but he had some great and beautiful salvias. Of the ones that FBTS sells ....

Cherry Chief Autumn Sage (Salvia greggii 'Cherry Chief')
Dark Dancer Autumn Sage (Salvia greggii 'Dark Dancer')
Raspberry Royale Sage (Salvia greggii x lemmonii 'Raspberry Royale')
Hidalgo Roseleaf Sage (Salvia involucrata var puberula 'Hidalgo')
Wild Watermelon Mountain Sage (Salvia microphylla 'Wild Watermelon')
Jame Orange Mountain Sage (Salvia regla 'Jame')
Cherry Red Mountain Sage (Salvia x 'Maraschino')

(Below are links to the database here, on our gardening website)

Autumn Sage (Salvia Navajo™ Bright Red)

Autumn Sage (Salvia greggii 'Dark Dancer')

Autumn Sage (Salvia greggii 'Raspberry Royale')

Rose Leaf Sage (Salvia involucrata 'Hidalgo')

Baby Sage (Salvia microphylla 'Wild Watermelon')

Orange Mountain Sage (Salvia regla 'Jame')

Sage (Salvia 'Maraschino')

I've grown and loved S. greggii 'Cherry Chief', S. greggii 'Dark Dancer', S. greggii x lemmonii 'Raspberry Royale', S. involucrata var puberula 'Hidalgo', S. microphylla 'Wild Watermelon' and S. x 'Maraschino'.

I can't think at the moment, of any other of Rich's introductions. He sure will be missed and missed in the salvia world.

Here's the link of Rich's website: http://www.worldofsalvias.com/
