Testimonials
I just received another order of Beautiful
Salvias from Flowers By The Sea. The plants are large and healthy in perfect condition.

I really can not say enough positive things about Kermit and Vikki!
You will not find better salvias or better service anywhere.

I have ordered a number of thimes since I found their site earlier this year. The plants and the service have been the best I have ever received and I have a huge yard and order a lot of plants online.. I can't wait until next year when they have all settled in and are blooming. I haven't allowed them to bloom yet though they have tried.

If you are looking for beautiful gorgeous salvias you are at the right place. I give FBTS my very highest recommendation.

I ordered 3 salvia apiana (white sage) plants and they came in right on time. The three plants were large with shoots coming off f them already and a healthy root system. I had ordered 3 of the same plants from another online grower and they came in almost dead and have since died. I give Flowers By The Sea an EXCELLENT and will order from them again!!!!!

Thank you,
Jessica

Salvia uliginosa

Salvia uliginosa


(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.

Although the name uliginosa refers to the bog-like conditions it is naturally found in, this species can also take fairly dry conditions and will spread much less which in some cases might be a good thing.

It prefers part shade but will also do just fine in full sun in all but the hottest and most arid environments. Lovely sky-blue blooms with a white “bee line” top the many thin, graceful stems. Bog Sage, swaying in the breeze at the back of the border is a pleasing sight indeed for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and humans alike.

We always sell out of this plant early in the season.
