I think Purple Majesty might just work for you. I had it some years ago and liked it.

It is said to be good from zones 7 through 10. It did well for me here in zone 9 B.

Hi Tina,

I have this salvia and like it a lot. It is just getting going for me but I've had it in the past and loved it. It is pretty tall- maybe 3-5 feet and sprawly, but graceful, colorful and beautiful. Bees love it. Looks great in a butterfly garden.

I love Salvia also, and tried to find seed sources, Park seems to have a good selection so I ordered 4 kinds, well, two came, but they are out of the others.. not many Seed places have much of a selection it seems... wonder why ? sally

Thanks Tom and Anna. Will see if I can find either of these at the USF plant sale next weekend.

Hi Tina, I am in Tampa and I think I have it, I will try to make a picture tomorrow and I have a rooted cuting

Helen,
Thanks!! Let me know. I should have something to trade. I can make a list.

Tina, see if this is what you are looking for

That looks like Wendy's Wish to me, Mocropot. It is hardy and easy to grow from cuttings. It is supposedly good for hummingbirds, which is why I got it.

It isn't very purple though...

Thanks for the pics Mocropot. I am actually looking for dark purple, the darker the better. Something like the link below. That particular one is up to zone 8 only though.

Tom123 thank you for the name, when I purchased it the seller stated it was salvia. It is good for hummingbirds, I see them every AM
Tina, you are correct it is not purple compare to your picture

Sorry, I could not help

I had May Night last year and it did not do well for me. I think it needs to be deadheaded regularly for it to do well. I have read a number of positive reports for it, however.

It is supposed to be good from zones 5 to 9.

I bought 2 Wendy's Wish at Lowes...both now have mosiac virus but probably won't pull them...
