1 to 7 of 7

Salvia glabrescens 'Elk Yellow & Purple'

(Makino) The unusual flower color and short, mounding growth of this clone of Salvia glabrascens -- a woodland Japanese native -- make it distinctive. The blossoms are nearly clear yellow with striking purple beelines.

Rated:

Salvia glabrescens 'Momobana'

(Pink Makino) The gracefully shaped, two-tone flowers of Pink Makino look like ballerinas in tutus. This shade-loving sage comes from moist, mountain woodlands on the Japanese island of Honshu. In Northern California, it blooms for us in late fall.

Rated:

Salvia glabrescens 'Shi Ho'

(Makino) We would grow this rare clone of the woodland Japanese native Salvia glabrescens even if it never flowered, because the arrow-shaped foliage is so lush, toothed and colorful. As they age, the arrow-shaped leaves transform from yellowish green to dark green.

Rated:

Salvia japonica

(Japanese Woodland Sage or Shu Wei Cao) This short, lavender-flowered, ornamental sage has purple-to-green foliage. In Asia, this woodland plant has long been an important medicinal herb, used in the treatment of conditions such as diabetes.

Rated:

Salvia koyamae

(Shinano-akigiri) Japan's largest island, Honshu, is home to Salvia koyamae, a shade- and moisture-loving herbaceous perennial that is perfect for woodland gardens or shady borders. It is notable for yellow flowers, which bloom from late summer into fall, as well as arrow-shaped foliage.

Rated:

Salvia nipponica 'BSWJ5829'

(Kyushu Woodland Sage) We are in love with this short forest sage from Kyushu, Japan. Its clusters of large creamy flowers pale as fresh-churned butter begin blooming in September. Even when not blooming, its foliage is showy in a shady garden.

Rated:

Salvia nipponica 'Fuji Snow'

(Variegated Japanese Woodland Sage) Irregular white margins surrounding deep green make the triangular leaves of this fine Japanese forest sage lighten the shade. In fall, pale yellow flowers add to the standout effect.

My first order with FBTS was great except for one plant that was weak from the get-go... however all the other plants were in acceptable shape (however a little more pot-bound than I would normally find desirable) they did survive and are flourishing! Upon submitting my issue with this one...

The plants arrived beautifully packed, in lovely condition, and I followed the very clear instructions for unpacking, getting them accustomed to the growing conditions here, hardening them off and planting them in my garden. They are doing beautifully and I love the complete descriptions of how...

I bought two pachyphylla 'blue flame' a couple of months ago. I had seen a picture of one in a magazine and I knew they were hard to find. Flowers by the Sea had two and they arrived in one day and in excellent condition. Both salvias are now blooming which is awesome.

Ordered 4 plants during a recent sale. They arrived as scheduled, securely packed, and very healthy looking. Not even two weeks later they are putting out new growth. Can't wait to se how they bloom next season.

What a wonderful find! Thank you Flowers By The Sea for the amazing salvia plants. I am so excited that I found your site! The plants arrived in beautiful condition. I will definitely order more salvias in the future!

Flowers arrived in great condition, and much larger than expected. I have looked for both plants for a very long time and had just about given up hope of finding them. I am so pleased with the plants, condition and service, that I cannot say enough. I have become a life-long customer. Thanks so...

Beautifully grown plants of unusual hard to get varieties. I've potted them on to keep them growing through the heat of the Austin summer; looking forward to placing them in the garden this fall.
