JUST LETTING YOU KNOW THAT I RECEIVED THE SALVIAS I ORDER THE NEXT DAY AFTER YOU SHIPPED THEM.

THE NINE PLANTS THAT I ORDER WERE IN GOOD SHAPE PLUS THE FREE ONE THAT YOU GAVE ME.

SINCE THEY WERE MOIST I LET THEM REST OVER NIGHT AND PLANTED THEM IN GALLON CANS.
THE NEXT DAY AND THEY LOOK GOOD.


I WILL BE ORDERING FROM YOU AGAIN.

When I received my order the plant had snapped in half during shipping, I contacted them and told them about it and they promptly sent me a replacement that arrived in awesome condition! The plants were both very healthy and green despite the first one being broken. The quality of the plants was far above any other nursery I have ordered from.

Salvia gravida
(Gravid Sage) This tender but worth-the-work Sage from Michoacán, Mexico has very large, rich reddish magenta flowers that hang from the arching branches in flower clusters up to 12 inches long. This is a large plant with very attractive medium size leaves that creates an unforgettable display.

"Gravid" means "with child" - and a plant loaded with it's full inflorescence does bring a pregnant woman to mind.

Grow this plant with the support of a trellis or against a wall.  And do not underestimate its size!
