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!

(Karwinski's Sage) From moist mountain areas in Mexico and Central America, this rugged, winter blooming shrub is found in oak or pine forests at 4,000ft.-8,000ft. It’s high altitude habitat must account for the fact that this winter bloomer withstands short term temperatures into the low 20’s and still produce a few flowers!

Speaking of which, there is some variability in bloom color. Brick-red, rose-red and scarlet are some reported. This clone is a clear, orange red. Leaves are also rather large and attractive, up to 6” and pebbly on the surface with cream colored hairs on the underside. Because of it’s generous size, a warm, protected spot is helpful, a south facing wall is ideal.

To encourage a more upright and compact growth habit, you can either periodically remove some it’s flowering branches, or, prune down to the last few active growth nodes once a year at the end of it’s flowering and when you’re sure there is no chance of a frost.

We are pleased to suggest these other plants, which go well with Salvia karwinskii:

#290

Salvia confertiflora

(Red Velvet Sage) The 12” to 18” inflorescence of this exotic looking Salvia are crowded with small, velvety, orange-red flowers from mid-Summer to late-Autumn. It’s large, dark green, pebbly textured leaves are beautiful in their own right, making this one of our top 5 Salvia favorites.

By blooming time, either shelter from the wind, staking or near-by ‘support’ plants will prevent breakage of it’s heavy, red tinged stems. We have found that deep, weekly watering, an occasional light feeding of multipurpose fertilizer and heavy pruning in late Winter or early Spring keeps this dramatic plant looking it’s best.

Salvia fulgens

(Cardinal Sage) Aptly named for its bright cardinal red two inch flowers that glisten in the Autumn sun, this is another Salvia whose nomenclature is in dispute. Is it S. fulgens, S. cardinalis or S. fulgens var. cardinalis? In any case, it is a very fine late blooming Sage.

Our price: $7.00

#712

Salvia gesneriiflora 'Mountain Form'

(Mexican Mountain Scarlet Sage) The origin of this dwarf form of the species is not clear beyond the fact that it came from from Mexico. Amazing long (up to 12") flower spikes start in the early Winter and continue through Spring, covering the plant with dark red flowers and red bracts. This clone differs from the more commonly known 'Tequila' in being much smaller in growth, having smaller leaves and flowers, and having very distinctive red bracts.

#304

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.

Salvia gregii x karwinskii 'Brent's'

(Brent's Fall Hybrid Sage) Hybrid Sages using S. gregii are common. This one is quite uncommon. The other parent is the tall growing tubular flowered S. involucrata, Roseleaf Sage. The result, selected by hybridizer Brent Barnes, is a plant somewhere in between it's parents in leaf and growth, with 2 inch tubular hot pink flowers that will stop you in your tracks every time.

Salvia holwayi

(Winter Mexican Sage) We haven't been so excited about any plant in a long time. This sage blooms through 20 degree weather with snow and ice, has a graceful habit with lovely small dark green leaves and even spreads gently. Oh, and the flowers - the tubular one inch cinnabar red flowers puff out in the center, and are profusely presented in large clusters.

(Hidalgo Roseleaf Sage) The earliest flowering, hardiest and strongest growing cultivar of this species.

Some years it actually never stops blooming!
