Best of Class

We believe this to be the best small variegated Bear's Breech.

Acanthus mollis 'Tasmanian Angel'

(Variegated Bear's Breeches) Found in Tasmania, this gem is the first variegated Acanthus! 'Tasmanian Angel' offers striking, bold leaves with white margins and mottling. It forms a large clump with 3' to 4' tall ornamental flower stalks of pink and cream in late summer. These flowers are SPECTACULAR!

This plant is tolerant of most soils, thriving in deep, fertile, moist, and well-drained conditions. We grow our stock for two years before sale, ensuring a root system that will ensure fast establishment and growth.

Note for Zone 9 and above gardeners: This plant grows best in the fall, winter and spring and slows to a semi-dormant state in the heat of the summer. Blooming here is almost year-round.

Salvia arizonica

(Arizona Blue Sage) We are so impressed with this top-performing, drought-resistant ground cover that we have rated it best of class. Arizona Blue Sage is adaptable to a variety of shady conditions and blossoms so abundantly that it seems to have as many rich blue flowers as it has leaves. It is native to dry, shaded areas in mountain canyons in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.

Salvia elegans 'Golden Delicious'

(Golden Pineapple Sage) The bright crimson flowers of this extremely fragrant sage are attractive to both humans and pollinators. However, it is the glowing golden foliage that most distinguishes this cultivar from other varieties of Pineapple Sage.

Salvia glabrescens 'Momobana'

(Pink Makino) The gracefully shaped, two-tone flowers of Pink Makino look like ballerinas in tutus. This shade-loving sage comes from moist, mountain woodlands on the Japanese island of Honshu. In Northern California, it blooms for us in late fall.

#621

Salvia glabrescens 'Shi Ho'

(Makino) We would grow this rare clone of the woodland Japanese native Salvia glabrescens even if it never flowered, because the arrow-shaped foliage is so lush, toothed and colorful. As they age, the arrow-shaped leaves transform from yellowish green to dark green.

Salvia glabrescens 'Yellow & Purple'

(Makino) The unusual flower color and short, mounding growth of this clone of Salvia glabrascens -- a woodland Japanese native -- make it distinctive. The blossoms are nearly clear yellow with striking purple beelines.

#307

Salvia guaranitica 'Omaha Gold'

(Variegated Anise-Scented Sage) Rumpled and lance-shaped, the spectacular leaves of this sage are yellowish-lime with splotches of emerald. Rub them and you smell anise, a licorice-like scent. The bountiful, cobalt blue flowers cover the plant from summer into fall.
