I've a salvia 'San Carlos Festival' that has overwintered (24 inch container) for several years.

Besides that one, these overwintered from last year and they're in containers.

Ordered 3 agastache 'Red Happiness' from High Country Gardens and planted all 3 in a 24 inch container. This spring I was so happy that at least one survived and it's big (stems and green leaves). Don't remember if buds are showing yet. That's wonderful, as I wasn't going to order anything else (ever again) from HCG after getting plants in 2019.

Ordered from Bluestone Perennials an agastache 'Firebird' that was growing in a 20 inch container, along side of salvia 'Raspberry Royale'. Firebird showing new green leaves. Not sure of the salvia in the pot if it survived.

Bought locally at Kroger's 3 one-gallon pots of agastache 'Kudos Gold' and planted in a large container tub. One big one overwintered and have 2 smaller plants that overwintered.

Bought locally at Kroger's 4 small plants (4 pack tray) salvia 'Victoria Blue'. Planted them (along the sides) with salvia 'Rockin' Fuchsia' (cnter) in a large container tub. Since I didn't think they would all survive the winter, started pulling them out earlier this spring. Today I noticed a nice sized Victoria Blue with buds and some smaller VB plants, and where Rockin' Fuchsia was planted, I'm pretty sure I saw a couple green leaves.

In another large container tub (black nursery pot), salvia 'Amante' was planted with 2 salvias ('Elk Orange Spires' and 'Scarlet Spires'). I didn't think they'd overwintered, so I started pulling them out and today I noticed 2 green leaves where Amante was planted.

Ordered 2 'Elk Raspberry Moose' from FBTS and planted (one or two) in a 24 inch container and today I noticed some green leaves on one.

Three Bee Balm plants that I knew would overwinter, did. 'Sugar Buzz 'Cherry Pops' I ordered from Romence Gardens in 2018 has overwintered since then; 'Balmy Rose' that I got locally in 2018 at Meijer's and overwintered since then (starting to bloom) and last year, I got 'Fireball' from Meijer's and is doing great with buds.

Planted a coneflower (have to check the tag this week) in a 20 inch container with salvia 'Snow Nymph'. The coneflower is doing good and showing green leaves. Also more of the same coneflower seedlings showing. Haven't seen any seedlings of the salvia. (I knew the coneflower would overwinter).

I can't remember what else overwintered from last year. Later this week when it's not so hot as the next 2 days (especially Tuesday) are going to be, I'll try and check all the containers.
