Have Coral Nymph Salvia seeds and red salvia seeds for trade
Comments (6)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.

Comments (10)Several years ago there were a lot of people getting seed from a plant that was traded as "Yvonne's Salvia" which was a great huge plant with bright red flowers. I got some of the seed and mine didn't grow as big but the flowers were as advertised. It didn't come back for me the next year but I had saved seed and kept it going for a few years, then something happened, I don't remember what, and I either didn't get the seed saved or lost what I had. I had mole problems at the house we lived at in town before moving out here so maybe that had something to do with it. I've had a peach and white salvia that would self-seed every year but I've lost it now, too. The only one I have now is a "black and blue" and it winters over in a protected spot against the brick wall on the south side of the house. It's not supposed to be winter hardy past zone 7, but the last two winters were mild, and I had it mulched heavily it's first winter when we had that one freaky minus 23 degree morning caused by all that freaky snow we got. That was the winter I stepped in a hole after the snow melted, we had dug rock out of it for a tree that didn't end up surviving, and it was muddy. I went down into the hole with one leg up to my knee, my Croc filled with mud and I lost it and had to lay down on the ground to retrieve it. It would've been pretty comical to see and I'm not sure anyone did, but if they had I don't think they would've told me. Anyway, this is Black and Blue's third winter here and if it survives to next spring I will have to do some trimming on it because it got really big this year. The bees and hummingbirds really love salvia....See MoreSalvia cultivars that come true/nearly true from seed?
Comments (2)Christin, FWIW I have grown Salvia 'Rose Sensation' from seed and it comes true. Have also grown Salvia 'Caradonna' from seed, but most of my plants didn't have the dark stems that differentiates it from other cultivars. It did have the nice dark flowers. regards,seedmoney...See MoreRichard Harbison
