Hi! I ordered outdoor orchids from you last year. Just wanted to say how great they are doing. Mounted the orchids on the trunk of my tree ferns and about half of the kikis are blooming. Evey-thing you sent is still alive. I have never been able to keep orchids alive indoors but they really like hanging outside on trees.

Got my order this afternoon. Everything was great, much better than I expected. Thanks for the extra keikis. Many of your keikis were bigger and more advanced than some 2 1/2-3 inch potted orchids I've received from other mail-order nurseries at 3 times the price.

Salvia dominica
(Dominican Sage) Native to Israel, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria, this shrubby perennial is said to have been the inspiration for the design of the menorah (Exodus 37:17). It is a tough, drought resistant plant with attractive silver-haired foliage and flowers, and many important medicinal uses.

The specific epitaph dominica means "belonging to the Lord."  It has a heavenly fragrance, and is used in perfumery, cosmetics and in the production of the rare essential oil.

Grow this plant in well drained soil with little water or fertility.  We have found it to be durable, but it does not tolerate wet, cold winters.  The fragrance of this plant on a warm day makes it worth growing as an annual, if your climate does not allow otherwise.
