Our local "Home Depot" has Hot Lips. I bought mine in very early spring, sometime in March, and it's still blooming today! The only thing, it has not set one seed pod and I've probably had 1000 blooms. I would advise buying one also, I'm not sure if it is propagated by seed. It was in a gallon pot, very nice size plant and only cost $5.96. It is about 4 times bigger now, so it's a good investment. I, too am going to try some cuttings. Good luck on your search and if you do find seeds, please post that you did so I'll know that they do set seeds. May God bless you with his loving Grace, Mona

I recently acquired some seed of the Mexican Blue Sage or Gentian Sage (Salvia patens). The seedlings are doing fine and I am looking forward to having them in my border and hoping to save the seed. I also have a lot of Red Sage - Lady in Red - Salvia coccinea. My question is: will these two different sage species hybridize? It's a tough question. I hope someone may know the answer.
