Testimonials
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!

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 nubicola

Salvia nubicola


(Himalayan Cloud Sage) Tall and majestic, the place to go to see this plant in the wild is the Muktinath Valley in Nepal, a most sacred place for both Hindus and Buddhists. A large, hardy, shade growing perennial with yellow flowers, this one is a must have - and is hardy to Zone 5. It grow as high as 14,000 feet and often starts growing out of the snow.

Use this Sage in mixed borders or as an eye-catching accent plant.  In cooler areas full sun is best - in warmer Zones it is very happy with partial shade.  We find it does best in good, rich & well drained garden soil with ample water, although it will survive in less than ideal conditions.

The 1 to 1 1/2 long butter yellow flowers are marked with purple, and explode into a four or more foot spike in the late summer.  We love this one, and can't ever seem to supply the demand.

Highly recommended.

Sometimes it’s wise not to get too tidy in the garden. When preparing Salvias for Winter dormancy, moderation is the rule. Regional climate affects how much trimming and mulching are necessary in late autumn.
