    I love this Salvia! It's a wonderful Salvia to grow! I have it in the ground and it's doing great. 2013 was my first year growing it. The flowers are a bright deep pink and beautiful. Long blooming, easy to care for, and attracts hummers and butterflies.

    Looking forward to seeing it bloom again.
