Most I'm replanting/keeping in the garden...and I'm just trying a few new varieties. I have only 1 Raspberry Royale seed. Someone I traded seeds with gave me a pastic bag filled with "chaf" thinking they were giving me a bunch of seeds...
Well, I'm grateful for the 1...and will make sure it's treated with extra TLC...lol

I'm so glad I stumbled across this forum. I grow the following salvias such that I have them in my garden all the time:

Salvia viridis (hominum) in blue, white and pink
Salvia patens
Salvia Rose Queen
Salvia cocinea coral
Salvia cocinea 'Snow Nymph'
Salvia farinacea Victoria
Salvia farinacea Victoria White
Salvia farinacea Strata
Salvia Gruppenblau
Salvia Reference
Salvia Revolution
Salvia Rosea

I put them around my roses, gladioluses, lilies, grasses, and in pots. I just love these plants. Many of them now come up from seed of the previous year.

This year I have WS'd the following salvias:

Salvia viridis `Palisades'
Salvia `Blue Bedder'

Last fall I planted Salvia `Black and Blue' here (have it in my Asheville garden, too; love it)
Perovskia (Russian Sage) in Asheville

My list is puny compared to yours, but I'm being lured into salvias by the salvia addicts, just as I've been indoctrinated into rose culture by the rosarians :-) Happily have I been led down the garden path, pun intended!

Thank you for expanding my horizons.

Whiteside County, IL(Zone 5a)

ALL OF THEM! Ha. No. I wish.

Black and Blue
Lady in Red


Sowing some seeds I took from a friend's planter. Possibly Salvia splendens 'Sizzler Red Stripe', but seemed to have more stripes than any pictures I am finding.

And a few Agastaches

Kannapolis, NC

Wow! You are into salvias, big time, Lupine!

Leesburg, FL(Zone 9b)

yea -- that is a great list.

Napoleon, OH(Zone 5b)

Yes, I'm into salvias. I should probably change my name from Lupine to Salvia. I wish that I lived in a warmer climate so I wouldn't have to take cuttings in the fall or dig up plants to store in the basement for the winter. I leave the greggii's outside for the winter and I have never lost one despite the fact that I live in zone 5b and greggii's are listed as zone 6 and up. Apparently they are hardier than people think.

Leesburg, FL(Zone 9b)

>>greggii's are listed as zone 6 and up. Apparently they are hardier than people think.

that's interesting... I'm zone5a and I'm trying Greggii this year ... i think "Wild Thing" [i'd have to double check]

DeLand/Deleon Spring, FL(Zone 8b)

Well, so far, I have or have started seeds for:
S azura
S. canariensis ( Canary Island Sage)
Indigo woodland sage
S. Patens ( Blue Angle)
S. scutelariods ( Columbia Ivy Sage)
S. Gentians
Somalia Sage
S. greggi Citron Stampe
S. Splendens Lavender gets tall
Forsythia Sage ( S. Madrensis)
Coccinea noid but looks like Brenthurst
S. G. Black and Blue

Got more seeds in the fridge and acutally forget which they are and but know several elegans and Yvone's Red, Red Velvet,
Mexican and Russian sage too.
Agastache Orange Hummingbird Mint, Spotted Bee Balm, and Osewego Ted (Red)
And theirs more that I want.( Lupine you'll be getting a D-mail, I have several I'm not listing in my trades yet....)
I have several also that I kinda think of a "generic sages" but they perform well, are not expensive so that get's them a BIG plus in my book.
