Good morning everyone. Hope you are warm and healthy wherever you are.
Last year I bought Salvia leucantha and just love it. I hope to get more plants from this main plant to spread around our property. The color is beautiful and I love the velvety feel and look of the blooms. The silvery green leaves are really pretty also. After reading the info from Floridata I now know that my cultivar is Purple Velvet. As the flowers are the same color as the purple calyces.
Yesterday I took pictures, and I sure love the macro capabilities of my camera.
If this wonderful plant will grow in your zone, get it, you won't be disappointed.
