I am interested in these. Have grown them in the distant past and recall liking BLACK KNIGHT. Love the dark, dark color!!

Wondering what are y'all's favorites??

Of course, performance in zone 8 is of interest to me, and colors that you love. Seems blues are getting easier to come by in salvias, so my garden is needing that dark punch of Black Knight, I have a feeling!

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITES AND WHY??

While I appreciate the one you mentioned, I am interested, mostly, in those that are sterile. The plant is considered an undesirable invasive in some States. Sterile sorts include Blueberry Cobbler, Peach Cobbler and Marmalade. And I like plants that are dwarf and those with silver foliage. Also like both the yellow buddlejas, and went out of my way to order Honeycomb, when mine died. I do not want anyone to think it is a difficult plant. I failed to give it adequate water in a severe drought.

bogturtle, didn't know about the invasive factor. I will check out these sterile ones.

I have been there with vitex and still find babies!! many years after mama has been gone, funny how long the seeds remain viable.

thanks for the warning.

any others??
