Good seeing you post Jim.
My Yvonne's Salvia never got that tall, had one about 3 ft winter over and the seedlings are now ab 20 in tall and starting to bloom, guess being in the containers affects their size, but they are beautiful, hummers love 'em along with other salvia.

now that i know what it is, LOL mine so far are about that tall, but has been covered up by that darned ol lilac le fleur datura and white angels trumpet. i didn't think they would take over, or else i think they would have been taller. LOL
i winter sowed them, and the markings got faded, wrong marker. i did collect some seeds, and i think i will be able to collect some more!! i LOVE this plant!! LOL it wasn't big enough when the hummers were here though, it sure will be next year!! :') ~Medo
