<title>Winter Blooming Salvias (Part II)</title>

<description><![CDATA[<h2>The Blue Species
</h2><br />
When I think of Winter blooming <span style="font-style: italic;">Salvias</span>, the warm colors - red, orange and pink - come to mind first.  Possibly because THE most spectacular Sage of all, <span style="font-style: italic;">Salvia gesneriifolia 'Tequila'</span>, is a presence to contend with, growing for us over 16 feet tall and 30 feet across!  But looking around our gardens this cool day, there are a number of very fine blue and purple Sages in bloom now.  So in Part 2 of the Winter <span style="font-style: italic;">Salvia </span>series, we'll discuss these fine plants.
