I loved heuchera with red flowers but they kept keeling on me. I would replace them, but wow they got expensive. Then I discovered Jl Hudson\'s seeds. I would just get his catalog.Heuchera \'Firefly\' is still there, perhaps ten years later. And he had a plant I have never seen or heard of: salvia ssp. tesquicola. I have never seen it in all the years since, and it never seems to be on sale, but I thought it would be dynamite with my peonies. So I grew the seed.

Dynamite with peonies. Really nice even in bud. Come back every year and needs no water or fertilizer. But unlike Mainacht, you can pull it out if you need to. Ever try to dig up May Night? Get an ax!!!!

When you grow from seed you can for pennies, try out plants. I love it! I\'m an over the top gardener and growing from seed allows me to do it without breaking the bank.
