Tcs1366,

You grew the purple from seeds? I think you were very lucky if it grew "true" since it's a hybrid. I tried several times to grow 'Black Cherry' from seeds, but none came true and that's a hybrid too. I have to buy the plants every year since we don't have room to over winter everything...oh well.

The sad part is there are no nurseries here locally that will have them anymore. I grew the purple and Rose Mesa in 2009 when one of our local nurseries offered it...they were lovely! Unfortunately, the only places online that have them are wholesalers and I can't buy any from them and they won't ship them to me either...Grrrrrr.

Here are a couple of pics. this one shows a single Purple Mesa Salvia with a Maraschino Salvia...
