Salvia tingitana

Salvia tingitana


(Mauretania Tingitana Sage) A plant with a history. This rare Sage was first described in 1777, and was known for decades before this date. The origin of the plant was a hotly debated mystery - was it native to Egypt, Syria, Aleppo, Tunis, or Tangier - until 1989, when a specimen was discovered in Saudi Arabia.

Regardless of its place of origin, it is a delightful and somewhat unusual Salvia that grows in a wide range of conditions. Given at least a half day of sun and well drained soil, its lovely large, rugose, lime green and heavily textured and scented leaves form a compact mound. The flower spikes branch freely, and display a large number of one inch long bi-color, yellow and lavender flowers.

This plant deserves much wider use. Highly recommended.

Salvia x 'Purple Stem' Salvia x 'Purple Stem'

 (Purple Stem Sage) Aside from knowing that it was collected in the Northern Mexican state of Tamaulipas, little can be said with certainty about the taxonomy of this Salvia. What we can say definitively about this not-rare-but not-at-all-common plant is this: it is easy to grow, flowers abundantly, has stunning dark purple stems and does well in heat and with limited water.

 Our price: $7.00

Synopsis: Sage is the common name for the uncommonly beautiful Salvia genus. But when designers describe a product as being sage-colored, they mean a shade of grey-green that they say is soothing and that harmonizes with a multitude of colors, including soft pastels, hot oranges and deep purples. A version of sage called "Grayed Jade 14-6011"¯ is one of the Pantone color-matching system's top shades for the design industry this year. This post identifies some Grayed Jade plants in the Flowers by the Sea collection. They are fine peacemakers amid a Salvia garden based on a mixture of Pantone's top greens for 2013, which you can read about in previous articles from our Pantone Pageant series of designer colors in the landscape.

Synopsis: Lime is the kind of bright, cheerful color that practically shouts, “Hey, look at me!” Limelight Mexican Sage (Salvia Mexicana ‘Limelight’) is the kind of plant that makes you say, “Hey, look at that! Let’s plant it.” It brightens the landscape with its startling contrast of chartreuse-lime foliage and deep violet-blue flowers. Among the hundreds of Salvias that we grow at Flowers by the Sea, it is difficult to think of a more dramatic poster plant to illustrate “Tender Shoots 14-0446,” one of the greens that the Pantone color corporation says will be big this year with fashion and industrial designers. Three other lovely, lime Salvias originally from the Mediterranean and the Middle East are also discussed here. Although you may not feel comfortable stepping out in a pair of chartreuse jeans, your garden is a safe place to shout out your love of the color.

Here's some of the best uses for this plant in your garden:
