B&B is hardy here (Birmingham, AL) and is growing rampantly in my garden. I would send you some plants but this may be difficult since you are in Canada. They flower well and there are a lot of hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies about for pollination. However, the flowers just drop off and don't form seeds. I have had this happen with other Salvias, such as Hot Lips, Argentine Skies, Majestic Spires, and Caradonna, while others produce a lot of seed. Why do some salvias not set seed?
