Hi All, I am sorry I haven't gotten back with you.. have had something going on in my personal life that has kind of taken over and I haven't been able to do much of anything else. I will get back with everyone next week and be mailing out packages. If you haven't sent me a trade, and still would like the salvia seeds, let me know. I have plenty. If you have already sent me a package I will be emailing you the first of next week to confirm what I am supposed to be sending you. I really am sorry for the delay. Jennifer

Suspect that Oceana Blue is a trade name for Salvia patens. But, yes, seeds should come true, sow some now, away from intense heat, give them some shade, and you may have flowering plants in 3 months. Good luck!

Pat McNeal of McNeal growers might have the answer. He has collected the true S. lycioides in the Guadeloupe Mountains located at the southern border of New Mexico with Texas. I was told it occurs in Mexico at somewhat higher elevations than S. greggii, and these hybrids form where the two overlap. The greggii x lycioides hybrids San Isidro (lavender) and Los Lirios (purple) were collected by Carl Schoenfeld and John Fairey of Yucca-Do, or at least initially distributed them through their early mail order business. Los Lirios was distributed as S. greggii Navajo Dark Purple. Salvia lycioides x greggii `Purple Pastel' is similar to San Isidro, and probably is a Pat McNeal introduction. The plants distributed as S. muelleri and S, coahuilensis are probably hybrids with S. greggii, since the true species are some intensity of pure blue. I got mine from Manuel Flores quite a while ago. Botanists from the University of Nuevo Leon in Monterrey are supposed to know of true locations for these true blue forms.
