I recently received my very first order from Flowers by the Sea Nursery in Northern California.
It won't be my last.
I had researched a lot online about Salivas and although many of the more exciting varieties seemed suitable for my climate -- I knew no nursery that grew them -- meaning I would have to try growing them from seed (not exactly my first choice).
Then I found Flowers by the Sea. What a treasure trove of Salvias! The sheer number of Saliva varieties and cultivars offered is almost mind boggling.
Furthermore what impressed me about the FBTS website was the great care and detail they took in presenting their plant offerings and the helpfulness of the information provided.
I placed my order the very next day and received it within a week's time. The shipment of plants was the most expertly packed box I have ever received. Each plant was swaddled in multiple wrappings of heavy packing paper. The plants themselves were in large pots and had substantial top growth.
Needless to say I am totally wowed by this very fine nursery. I look forward to dealing with them again in the near future.

This is my second year ordering from this fine nursery. The plants are large and healthy, and the choices are spectacular! They were very well packed and shipping was very quick.

Salvia oxyphora
(Fuzzy Bolivian Sage) Dramatic large fuzzy pink flowers in large clusters top this dark-green-leaved, tropical looking plant. To say that it stands out in the garden is a true understatement. This is not your parents Salvia.

Slow to start growing in the Spring, this Sage starts to grow quickly as the days get longer and warmer.  Success has been demonstrated in Zone 7 gardens, with well drained soil and a good mulch - where the underground runners survive to grow new stems in the Spring.

From middle elevations in the Bolivian Andes, where it grows on the edge of moist forests.  It loves feeding and ample water, and grows very fast when conditions are right. One tip - it tends to be brittle, so pinch for good branching and protect from strong winds.

We love this plant, and use it in containers where the spectacular flowers - said to be the most showy of all Salvias - can be enjoyed close up.  This is destined to become one of the most popular of all the genus!

Highly recommended.

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



#291
Salvia corrugata Salvia corrugata

 (Corrugated Sage) Dense, purplish blue whorled inflorescence nicely complement this handsome plant‘s somewhat linear, deeply textured, dark green leaves with cottony undersides.

This evergreen shrub grows quickly and easily to 4‘-6’, needing only full sun, well drained soil and regular water to stay in nearly continuous bloom and looking it’s best.  With occasional pruning of the growing tips, or, growing it in a decorative pot, it can also be held to a 2’-3’ shrub.

We especially enjoy contrasting this plant’s rounded, dense growth habit with our taller, airier Sages, like Salvia guaranitica 'Purple Majesty'.

 Our price: $7.00
Amount: 
#637
Salvia curviflora Salvia curviflora

 (Pink Tehuacan Sage) Large, hot magenta-pink flowers in large clusters top the elegant foliage of this most worthwhile sage. It blooms for us over a long season, starting in the late Spring. An elegant and rare Sage that should be more widely planted.

 Our price: $7.00
Amount: 
#701
Salvia cuspidata ssp. gilliesii Salvia cuspidata ssp. gilliesii

 (Chilean Mountain Sage) This spectacular shrub, which used to be known as S. gillesii, is delicate in appearance but strong growing and robust in the garden. A native of the Chilean Andes, it grows in the full sun on rocky slopes often shrouded in fog from the nearby Pacific Ocean. The rounded wooly soft grey toothed leaves are pleasantly scented, and drape on the plant in a way that reminds me of the limbs of conifers.

 Our price: $9.00
Amount: 
#293
Salvia discolor Salvia discolor

 (Peruvian Sage or Concolor Sage) This native to the high Andes in Peru is one of the most distinctive of all Salvias. The leaves are apple green and smooth on the top, and have silver hairs on the bottoms. This alone is enough to recommend this plant - but the flowers . . .

 Our price: $7.50
Amount: 
#735
Salvia flocculosa Salvia flocculosa

 (Blue Ecuadorian Sage) A beautiful, densely branched shrub with silvery leaves, this rare species was once thought to be S. cruickshanksii. In the California nursery trade, it has been called "Salvia 'Equador'". This is the true species, a great garden plant for warm areas.

 Our price: $7.50
Amount: 
#746
Salvia oppositiflora Salvia oppositiflora

 (Opposite Peruvian Sage) We know of no other Salvia with this color - rich & creamy orange with standout yellow hairs. These 3 inch blooms are displayed in opposite pairs on the floral structure - the source of it's name.

 Our price: $7.50
Amount: 
#347
Salvia sagittata Salvia sagittata

 (Arrowleaf Sage) This unusual herbaceous perennial is found at high elevations (9,500ft.-10,000ft.) in the Cordillera de los Andes of Chile and Peru. It’s arrow-head shaped leaves (sagittata refers to this shape) are deeply textured, yellow-green and woolly on the undersides.

The blooms are a gorgeous, brilliant royal blue and rise 1’-2’ from the leafy stems starting in Summer and continuing through the Fall.


 Our price: $6.50
Amount: 
#678
Salvia squalens 'Orange Form' Salvia squalens 'Orange Form'

 (Orange Sticky Peruvian Sage) Tropical in look and feel, this handsome Sage from Peru has large almost round heavily wrinkled leave that are aromatic and sticky to the touch. Once they grow to a foot tall they begin to bloom, and the flowers are stunning. Large bright orange/red with a prominent bee line, these never fail to attract attention.

 Our price: $7.00
Amount: 
#620
Salvia tubiflora Salvia tubiflora

 (Tubular Chilean Sage) This rare sage from the coastal mountains of northern Chile grows in an environment of foggy days and moderate temperatures. In the wild it can grow 9 feet tall and wide, but we have never seen one that large.

 Our price: $8.50
Amount: 
#613
Salvia x 'Big Swing' Salvia x 'Big Swing'

 (Big Swing Sage) This may be the winner of the "best cobalt blue Salvia" contest. The inch long and across flowers are displayed on strong wiry branched stems held well above the handsome foliage.

 Our price: $6.50
Amount: 
#617
Salvia x 'Costa Rica Blue' Salvia x 'Costa Rica Blue'

 (Costa Rica Blue Sage) A strong grower with substantial, tropical looking leaves, this variety is commonly listed as a variety of Anice Leaf Sage (S. gaurantica). By the way it grows and the season of flowering, we believe it to be a hybrid.

 Our price: $6.50
