I was wondering if anyone had any as well. I have a spot that would be just perfect for it in my backyard. If anyone has any to share, I'd definitely be interested. Kathy

Mjtd I have a small trade of lavender seeds if you'd like to send a small trade of either the poppies or hibiscus...would prefer the hibiscus i think but the poppies are nice too...and i only have a small trade and don't want to jump in line ahead of graanieb ...email me tho if you'd like to trade a small trade...thanks :)

These seeds are a little scarce and I was only given a few this past winter. I have 6 or 7 plants growing now that are about 2 1/2 feet tall and counting in mid Jul :). So things look really good that they will break 4ft and product lots of those seeds this September. There's a bunch of fellow hummingbird people (Link on "My Page") that will probably want some too, so we should start a list somewhere.

Ladies, I am so sorry that your experience with Yvonne's Salvia has been so unpleasant. This summer, I planned a salvia garden and received seeds of eleven different types of salvia, including Yvonne's, from a very nice gentleman in Ontario. I had only ten seeds of Yvonne's, which I think is a variety of Salvia splendens, and had 100% germiation. Although the plants remained small for a long time, they are now at least 4 feet tall and still in full bloom. They just 'shot up' in August and though the first few blooms were rather puny on the central stalk, they later sent out side shoots from several nodes down the central stalk. All the blooms are now at least 10 inches long, and they are attracting the humming birds, which was my intention. They are growing in a small section of lawn I took over, but they are a worthwhile addition to the garden, providing much needed colour. Perhaps they are just late bloomers this far north. Not all of the salvias were successful, but there are about 4 which had blooms worth seeing, and I hope to collect seeds from them. If I can spare some, I will contact you when my seed collection is done. Northerner.
