Salvia microphylla 'San Carlos Festival' (San Carlos Festival Sage)
Sun Zone: 7-9a 24" tall Origin: Mexico
This 1997 Yucca Do introduction was discovered 5 years earlier in Tamaulipas, Mexico, in the village of San Carlos at 3,800'. This selection was the best of a population in full flower in October. This compact grower (2' tall x 3' wide) has proven to be the most floriferous selection we have grown in our gardens. The clump is adorned with hundreds of red-violet (RHS 66A) flowers from early May through November here in NC...superb! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) #00185

Salvia reptans West Texas Form (Cobalt Sage)
SunZone: 5b-9, at least 36" tall Origin: USA, Mexico alternate image
(aka: Salvia leptophylla) Guess what? Another truly fabulous native salvia that seems to have completely missed cultivation! This easy-to-grow Texas native is a close relative of S. pitcheri, but, in my opinion, is a much nicer plant. Normally a lax plant, this upright form was collected by Pat McNeal of Texas in the Davis Mountains at 4,000' in Davis County, Texas. The needle-thin, green leaves adorn the 3' tall stems and in September it bursts forth at the tips with vivid, dark cobalt-blue flowers. Native to the Trans-Pecos region, it is found in dry, gravelly, mountainous washes. Despite this affinity for well-drained soils, it has performed marvelously in the muggy Southeast. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml) #03732
