Testimonials
I received 2 shipments in 2010, total of 8 plants, all salvias. I received large plants per capita and they were growing in an interesting well-drained mix. It contained what looked like tiny bits of clay pots in place of perlite. I highly recommend this nursery based on 2010 experience and future 2011 same.
Dave
I just received another order of Beautiful
Salvias from Flowers By The Sea. The plants are large and healthy in perfect condition.

I really can not say enough positive things about Kermit and Vikki!
You will not find better salvias or better service anywhere.

I have ordered a number of thimes since I found their site earlier this year. The plants and the service have been the best I have ever received and I have a huge yard and order a lot of plants online.. I can't wait until next year when they have all settled in and are blooming. I haven't allowed them to bloom yet though they have tried.

If you are looking for beautiful gorgeous salvias you are at the right place. I give FBTS my very highest recommendation.

Salvia lasiantha

Salvia lasiantha


(Wooly Multicolor Sage) In Greek, "lasiantha" means "wooly flower." The flowers of Salvia lasiantha are surrounded by wooly bracts, but are even more notable for transforming from apricot-orange in the morning to reddish-purple later in the day.

The bracts are also dramatic -- a fuzzy white overlaid with pink, orange, violet and cream. The large flower clusters bloom from mid-summer until the onset of cold weather. Large wrinkled foliage and white wooly stems are other distinctive features of this large, shrubby sage. All that wooliness helps this native of Mexico and Costa Rica to conserve moisture during drought and extreme heat.

At 5 feet tall and wide, this fragrant butterfly magnet makes a good screen, background planting or addition to a shrubby border. It can even be grown in a large patio container.

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



#765
Salvia chamaedryoides var.isochroma Salvia chamaedryoides var.isochroma

 (Silver Germander Sage) With its compact habit, brilliant silver-white leaves and large, sky blue flowers, this is an outstanding heat-tolerant choice for dry, sunny gardens. We consider this to be one of the finest short ground covers for these conditions.


 Our price: $7.50

#717
Salvia fruticosa Salvia fruticosa

 (Greek Sage) Most of the dried culinary sage sold in the United States is Greek Sage. Frescoes on the island of Crete dated to 1400 BC depict this plant, which was used by the Phoenicians and Greeks for cooking and medicine. It is an ancient and beloved friend of mankind.

 Our price: $7.00
Amount: 
#559
Salvia melissodora Salvia melissodora

 (Grape Scented Sage) With the grape scent of its pale lavender blossoms and its long history of medicinal use, it is no surprise that this sage is so widely distributed.


 Our price: $7.00
Amount: 
#515
Salvia nilotica Salvia nilotica

 (Highland African Sage) This Sage is native to a wide swath of the African highlands, from Ethiopia to Zimbabwe at elevations of up to 12,000 feet. We have found it to be a strong growing, hardy perennial that stands some drought.


 Our price: $7.00
Amount: 
#674
Salvia pennellii Salvia pennellii

 (Tamaulipas Sage) This tall growing, shrubby Sage from northeast Mexico has everything going for it: deep purple flowers, attractive textured leaves and strong dark stems. Shrubby down to the mid 20s, it grows as a herbaceous perennial into the low teens.

 Our price: $7.00
Amount: 
#610
Salvia scordifolia Salvia scordifolia

 (Scordy Sage) Another sage that sells itself instantly when seen in bloom. The flower color is rich and saturated, and its easy to grow. For us, it is very much stronger and easier to grow than Grape Scented Sage (Salvia melissodora), which it resembles in foliage.

 Our price: $9.00
Amount: 
#598
Salvia taraxacifolia Salvia taraxacifolia

 (Dandelion Leaf Sage) A most unusual and rewarding Salvia from the Atlas Mountains in Morocco, this sturdy ground cover is hardy and adaptable.

 Our price: $7.00
Amount: 
#645
Salvia tingitana Salvia tingitana

 (Mauretania Tingitana Sage) A plant with a history. This rare Sage was first described in 1777, and was known for decades before this date. The origin of the plant was a hotly debated mystery - was it native to Egypt, Syria, Aleppo, Tunis, or Tangier - until 1989, when a specimen was discovered in Saudi Arabia.


 Our price: $9.00

#639
Salvia wagneriana Salvia wagneriana

 (Wagner's Sage) From the cloud forests of Southern Mexico and Central America comes this 100% dazzling winter blooming beauty. We have it in bloom from November through March - come snow, ice or temperatures as low as 20 degrees. How hardy is this plant, beloved and cultivated by the people in its native lands?

Salvia leucantha 'Danielle's Dream' Salvia leucantha 'Danielle's Dream'

 (Pink Mexican Bush Sage) Although native to Mexico and Central America, this elegant variety of Salvia leucantha was hybridized in South Africa. It is compact, long blooming and profusely covered by soft pink flowers surrounded by velvety white bracts.

 Our price: $7.50
Amount: 
#640
Salvia x jamensis 'Golden Elk' Salvia x jamensis 'Golden Elk'

 (Golden Elk Mountain Sage) The first offering of our exciting new hybrid sage. Golden Elk is more compact, has better foliage and to our eye larger flowers than the well known variety, 'Sierra San Antonio' that it resembles. And here on the cool and humid Northern California coast it grows better than any other Mountain Sage.
