This was first time growing this variety of Salvia. GORGEOUS! These will be on my seed list every year.
- LaurenVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars5/9/225 Stars
These were very easy to grow from seed, starting in a greenhouse in late March and started blooming in June. They are gorgeous but mine have grown to about 3 feet in zone 7a. Didn't expect that height! Great addition to the garden and flowers last a long time.
