Testimonials
Thank you for the very well-packaged shipment I received today. I appreciate your time-consuming efforts at weight reduction for shipping: these plants are bohemoths that should-if I do my part- overwinter and leap out of the ground next Spring! In the midst of all of the challenges you have faced, I remain grateful for your professionalism and consideration.

I ordered 4 salvia this year. All arrived GREEN and VIBRANT--no wilt and no breakage. By far the best plant packing I have seen...but most importantly, all the plants went into the ground and took perfectly.

I love the selection! Please keep scouring the world for new salvias.

Also love the blog!

Moisture Loving


Most consider Salvias to be plants that survive dry, even drought conditions. There are many that fit that bill, but many others that thrive with regular watering - and even a few that will grow well in wet conditions.

While none of these are marshland plants, they all will grow well in conditions that are moist to wet most of the time.
