As I listed above salvias come in a wide variety of colors. They range in height from short shrubs to splendid giants as tall as five ft!! They thrive in sun so if one forets to water them a few days they are even more beautiful than when last watered. For these reasons, I have them all over my backyard. My friends and relatives think that I have a green thumb!
The salvias that I have collected and am still growing are
1.Salvia Splendens 2.Salvia Superba 3.Salvia Purple Rain 4.Salvia Greggi 5.Salvia blepharophylia 6.Salvia Leucantha

I am always adding to my Salvia collection. I do mix in a few pansies and coleus to make it seem as if I have a green thumb of course. So don't fret. If you think you are a gardening fiasco,just go buy a few salvias and your garden will be colorful and everblooming!
