I recently received my very first order from Flowers by the Sea Nursery in Northern California.
It won't be my last.
I had researched a lot online about Salivas and although many of the more exciting varieties seemed suitable for my climate -- I knew no nursery that grew them -- meaning I would have to try growing them from seed (not exactly my first choice).
Then I found Flowers by the Sea. What a treasure trove of Salvias! The sheer number of Saliva varieties and cultivars offered is almost mind boggling.
Furthermore what impressed me about the FBTS website was the great care and detail they took in presenting their plant offerings and the helpfulness of the information provided.
I placed my order the very next day and received it within a week's time. The shipment of plants was the most expertly packed box I have ever received. Each plant was swaddled in multiple wrappings of heavy packing paper. The plants themselves were in large pots and had substantial top growth.
Needless to say I am totally wowed by this very fine nursery. I look forward to dealing with them again in the near future.

Salvia gesneriiflora 'Tequila'
(Big Mexican Scarlet Sage) This heavily blooming Salvia from Mexico is spectacular in bloom! The long, long (up to 18") flower spikes start in late summer and continue through mild winters and cover the plant with flowers.   I would say this is THE most spectacular Salvia we grow.

The blooms are red-orange with rich purple-black calyxes. Give this one plenty of room as it grows to 10’ tall and almost as wide, and protect from strong winds that can cause broken branches.

One of our very best hummingbird flowers!
