071-052     Salvia aff. chiapensis

More

071-039D4     Salvia arizonica       
Sun, Part Shade     Zones (6)7-9 Blue flowers
No matter when we visit this sage during the growing season, it seems to be in bloom. The small size of the flowers is more than compensated for by the number of them. This forms a tough, brittle-stemmed shrublet that is very airy in appearance. Over the years that we have grown it, it has crept to a fairly large size, but that is what has kept new stems emerging that continue to bloom.

071-117D4     Salvia elegans       
Sun     Zones (7)8-10 Scarlet flowers
Mexico. This blooms so late in the season that customers rarely see it in its glory here. Given a truly warm and sheltered spot, this will bloom throughout the fall.

Sun     Zones 8-10 Purple Blue flowers
Every year we look forward to seeing this long-blooming friend. Some years it makes it through our winter; some it does not, and we must replant.

071-128     Salvia praeclara

Bolivia. We have grown this now for several years but always protect it during the winter so we are uncertain of the hardiness of this salvia. We are certain, however, of its beauty.

Sun     Zones 8-10 Red Coral flowers
The shovel-shaped and lightly scalloped leaves remind us that this is a cross between S. darcyi and S. microphylla. It is the relatively large, brilliant red coral flowers with burgundy calyces that keep distracting us, however. They are so showy and bloom for such a long time that we do not care if this sometimes does not make it through our wet winters. Drainage is a must for Pacific Northwest gardeners.  Summer to autumn. bloom   24 in x 24 in.

071-106D4     Salvia 'UC Pink'       
Sun     Zone 7-10 Pink flowers
We have grown this elegant, airy woody salvia for more than a decade and somehow have forgotten to propagate it, perhaps thinking it was not winter hardy. After ten years, it it time to let others enjoy its bright pink, somewhat flat-faced tubular flowers that continue for at least half-a-year. The small shrub fits in easily with silvery plants like cistus and indeed carries on long after they have stopped their floral show.

Sun, Part Shade     Zones 4-9 Dark Pink and White flowers
Even though the Japanese name for this selection translates to "white flower," the flowers on this compact shrub are both pink and white. It is also called, perhaps more aptly, "shiburi" in Japanese referring to the dappling of colors in the flower heads.  Mid- to late summer. bloom   24 in. x 24 in.

Sun     Zones 4-8 Pale Pink flowers
The cat's tongue-like foliage is soft to the touch. It emerges pale blue green, but those portions that are most exposed to the sun tend to turn pale yellow green giving rise to the plant's name. All of this is complemented by occasional 12-inch flowering stems bearing whorls of pale pink flowers. A lovely and somewhat mysterious woody ground cover for the mediterranean border.  Early summer to early autumn. bloom   10-12 in. x 2 ft.

558-005D4     Stokesia laevis 'Silver Moon'     ( Stokes aster )     
Sun     Zones 5-9 White flowers
This carefree beauty has one flaw. The spent flowers turn brown. But never fear because they are very easy to remove. The silvery cornflower-shaped blooms are extra large and appear in great profusion over a long period of time. The basal foliage forms a mound of soft green.  Midsummer to early fall. bloom   24 in. x 18 in.

519-004D4     Symphoricarpos orbiculatus       
Sun     Zones 2-6 White flowers
This arrived as an unidentified shrub. Suddenly as autumn set in, the branches were covered in stunning, rounded, purple-red fruit. We quickly set about identifying it. In late summer this mid-sized shrub is decked out in small white bell-shaped flowers. But it is in the autumn that this becomes a berried treasure for the garden.  Summer. bloom   6 ft. x 6 ft.
