Testimonials
Thank you for the plants that arrived today. They look great.
LR
I ordered 2 Salvia plants on 06/10/12 and recieved them on 06/14/12; not only were the plants healthy, but Flowers By The Sea was generous enough to include a slightly different Salvia to me as a gift! Even better is the fact that I was interested in both to begin with. I placed my order here because of the lower cost of the item of interest to me... I'm glad I gave this company my business, and would recommend them to people interested in there beauties.

Salvia leucantha 'Midnight' Salvia leucantha 'Midnight'

 (Midnight Mexican Bush Sage) The typical Mexican Bush Sage has purple flowers surrounded by furry white bracts. This clone from the San Francisco Peninsula has deep purple flowers, calyxes and stems. It is a good groundcover due to a mounding habit, smaller size and generous amounts of flowers.

Salvia leucantha 'Santa Barbara' Salvia leucantha 'Santa Barbara'

 (Santa Barbara Mexican Bush Sage) This compact Mexican Bush Sage was found in the Santa Barbara garden of Kathiann Brown. It is, without a doubt, the finest short Mexican Bush Sage -- hardy, tough and long blooming. Add drought tolerance and dark, rich purple flowers to its list of merits.

Salvia leucantha 'White Mischief' Salvia leucantha 'White Mischief'

 (White Mischief Mexican Bush Sage) Profuse white blossoms and true white velvety bracts make the flowers of this South African hybrid a lovely choice for a wedding. In our experience, many of the plants sold as White Mischief are not the real thing. This tough, compact, long blooming sage is.

Salvia leucantha 'Greenwood' Salvia leucantha 'Greenwood'

 (Mexican Bush Sage or Velvet Sage) This variety of Mexican Bush Sage has purple and white flowers that bloom from summer into fall. Fuzzy leaves, stems and calyxes are characteristic of its species, so this native of Mexico and Central America is also called Velvet Sage.

Salvia semiatrata Salvia semiatrata

 (Pine Mountain Sage) Without a doubt, this is in the elite group of "World's Showiest Salvias". No other Sage has such contrast in flower and bract color. The small but very numerous flowers are sprinkled all over this well branched,shrubby plant for months in the Summer and Fall. Add to that the fact that it is a hummingbird favorite and you'll understand why we are so excited about this one.

 (Waverly Sage) A tender shrub or perennial, depending on your Zone, Waverly Sage features white flowers with soft purplish-pink bracts from mid-summer through first frost. First discovered as 'Mark's Mystery White', the naming and origin of this plant is confusing.

#675
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.

 Our price: $9.00
Amount: 
#686
Salvia chionophylla Salvia chionophylla

 (Snowflake Sage) Wiry, trailing stems of small white leaves make this plant look like fresh snowfall. Numerous, small, sky blue flowers with prominent bee lines further add to the cooling look. This dry-garden plant is native to the mountains of the Chihuahuan desert of North Central Mexico.
