Hmmm. Wonder why the weird, days-apart, double-post above happened?
Anyway, lovely
S. azurea picture Joseph! It sure was generous of it to bloom the first year for you. The wind doesn't let me get a clear picture, but some of ours put on a nice show last year.
I'm so envious of your
S. penstemonoides 
Your
S. greggii, too. I haven't found one that's been reliably hardy for me yet. (Or, maybe I haven't found the right spot in the yard? Maybe if I'd snuggle one up to a big, deep rock?) I'll keep trying. Maybe Christine's 'Radio Red' will be the one
Speaking of Christine, those are some happy-looking babies! I hope your culinary sage does well. The bees sure get a kick out of ours when they're blooming. Did you find your list of the other salvias and agastaches you're growing?
BTW - I forgot to mention that
@Danita gifted me back some
S. pachyphylla seeds from Alplains, and I'm now the proud parent of a plantlet with four or so leaves.
Oh, and I scored some
S. dorrii from NARGS that Panayoti donated. Perhaps I'll sow them this weekend...
Still no germination from
S. caespitosa. Has anyone germinated it? Any suggestions? Warmer temp? Period of cold? Scarification? Thank you!
