I ordered today from Flowers By The Sea. Shipping May 3.

2 Cuphea x 'David Verity'
2 Salvia coccinea 'Lady in Red'
1 Salvia leucantha 'Midnight'
1 Salvia x 'Elk Crimson Spires'
1 Salvia 'Amistad'
1 Salvia BODACIOUS 'Rhythm and Blues'
1 Salvia x 'Wendy's Wish'
1 Salvia darcyi x splendens 'Roman Red'
1 Salvia VIBE 'Ignition Fuchsia'

I'm looking forward to growing 'Elk Crimson Spires' and VIBE 'Ignition Fuchsia' for the first time and seeing their flowers (color).

I really love the 'Roman Red' flowers and the color. I wanted to get 2 of them, but I was afraid it would confuse the shippers (with one free and one purchased). FBTS is offering 1 free of the 'Roman Red' salvias with each $100 purchase of plants (EXTENDED to April 15th). I couldn't get enough of the the 3 I grew last year. It's a must have in my garden every year just to see those gorgeous red flowers. https://www.fbts.com/

I'm growing BODACIOUS 'Rhythm and Blues' for the second time. I'm hoping it grows and blooms a lot better this time. I'm going to put it into a larger container by itself this time.

Salvia 'Midnight' is my husband's (and one of mine) favorite, so I make sure I get it and grow it every year.

I decided to get and grow 2 of the cuphea 'David Verity' this year. Being that they're hummingbird magnets, I wanted one on the patio, besides the one at the end of the driveway.

Usual 'must haves' are: 'Amistad', 'Lady in Red', 'Wendy's Wish'. Love those salvias, their flowers and attracting hummers.

Wanted to get more. Some like 'Wild Thing' and some others were out at the time I ordered (late). I usually order a lot earlier, but with my husband having more health problems (again) starting since Feb. 2, I couldn't. Maybe I can get another order in this year.

Stay safe everyone.
