I've had Wendy's Wish for 3-4 years now. Got it for the hummingbirds and they do indeed use it. So do the big old bumble bees. I have one clump in a large container and 3 others (that stay smaller for some reason) in the ground. They all bloom pretty much year round here for me. I love the color of the blooms of this plant! It is a different color than that of other salvias. The one in the container is quite large and blooms profusely. The 3 ground plants also bloom but not quite as showy as the container plant. I've watched the hummingbirds and bumble bees go to every single bloom for nectar, so it is a great nectar plant also!

I give it 2 thumbs up! Thumbs up Thumbs up
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
