The plants are so beautiful: large, healthy and just ready to grow and bloom. These are among the best salvias I have ever received. The selection of plants is fantastic too. My first order, but it certainly won\'t be the last!

I love you guys--the S. macrophylla started blooming flowers a few days after it arrived and so are the canariensis and radula that I ordered earlier in the month. They are absolutely gorgeous and I have no doubt they will thrive once planted in the ground. Thank you thank you!

I also wrote a yelp review to help get your site out there :-)

Salvia madrensis
(Forysthia Sage)  Another late blooming, high altitude (4,000-5,000ft.) perennial from the Sierra Madre Oriental in Mexico, this statuesque beauty is hardy to at least 20F and will come back from root stock if knocked down to the ground by short periods of colder temperatures.

Flowers are an unusual (for Salvias) butter yellow and first appear in Fall then continue till frost or Spring in mild winter areas. Good for cut flowers. Heart shaped, rough textured leaves generously clothe the plant and are graduated in size starting out large at the bottom and smaller on top.

Plant forms a multi-stemmed thicket via slowly spreading rootstock and can easily be kept tidy by pulling the unwanted stems out. Morning sun and afternoon shade is ideal.

This is a prehistoric-looking plant when it is growing. The square stems can get 3" across, and the plant seems to grow before your eyes. I love it with Bog Sage, Salvia uliginosa, planted at its base.

Salvia madrensis 'Red Neck Girl' Salvia madrensis 'Red Neck Girl'

 (Red Stem Forysthia Sage) Another late blooming, high altitude (4,000-5,000ft.) perennial from the Sierra Madre Oriental in Mexico. Differs from the species by virtue of its conspicuous red stems.

Salvia confertiflora 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.

 (Bog Sage) This highly adaptive Salvia is ideal for the beginner as it is not at all fussy about soil type, sun exposure, drainage or frequency of watering.
