About me: I've been researching, collecting, growing, and distributing Salvias for 30 years. I also have released a number of Salvia and Agastache hybrids to the trade that have become popular. Salvias: Cherry Queen, Cherry Chief, Maraschino, Plum Wine, Raspberry Royale; Agastaches: Firebird, Apricot Sunrise, Pink Panther, Pink Lemonade, Tutti FruttiI cycle between my professional career as a natural products chemist (synthetic organic chemistry) and a horticulturalist. Lately, I've added botanical prints to my inventory of activities.

My zone is: z7 NC
