Tender Salvias are those species, varieties and hybrids that cannot tolerate temperatures below the mid 20's (F). In our opinion, even though these may represent more work for many gardeners, they are worth the effort! Many of these plants can be grown as rewarding annuals, or in large pots.
We ship only well established stock, often in bloom. If there are particular tricks to a plant's success, we'll include a note with your order.
Incredibly rich flower colors. Spectacular foliage. Months of continuous blooming. The feel of the tropics. How can you resist these plants?
