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!

I received my plants from FBTS Yesterday. I immediately opened the box and was in awe at the size and healthy condition of the plants even traveling from California to NY. The plants were perfect and even had blooms and buds ready to open when they arrived. I carefully unpacked them and placed them in a window with filtered sunlight for a couple of days prior to moving them onto my porch for hardening off before planting. Of all the Salvias I have ordered online over the years these are by far the largest and most vigorous I have ever received from any company. The staff at FBTS knows how to do it right.

Salvia przewalskii var. mandarinorum

Salvia przewalskii var. mandarinorum


(Dan-shen Gansu) A lovely and very hardy herbaceous perennial Sage from the mountains of Central China, this variety is noted for its handsome leaves - large and wrinkled yellow-green above and densely tomentose rusty brown on the underside. Growing into a large basal rosette of leaves up to three feet across, this traditional medicinal herb has tall spikes of rich purple flowers in the Summer.

Best in light shade, this plant grows slowly - but is tough as nails.  The plants we offer have been growing for an entire season, and will bloom in 2012 if planted in the Fall of 2011 or the Spring of 2012.

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.
