| I'm trying to locate autumn sage plants in the Boston area. I had previously purchased plants at Mahoney's but they don't seem to carry it anymore. Anyone know of a local source? Next year I'll just start seeds but I think it is too late this year. The hummingbirds love it! |

| You might want to try ordering it from Bluestone Perennials. . .they carry Salvia greggii "Wild Thing', and right now it's half-price on the their big Spring sale. I just made a big order (including salvias) six days ago, and they all arrived today in perfect condition ! A really sweet deal. . .I've linked it below for you. Carl |

| Salvias are reasonably easy to overwinter inside. I've been overwintering a variegated greggii for several years now. It's getting a bit big now, and I should take cuttings and start over again this summer. (also, part has reverted, and I'd like to keep both of them) |

| mad gallica, I've never tried bringing them in the house for the winter. I should try that. I do really like the less hardy salvias. Thanks! |

| Thanks for all your help. I had a very successful trip to Russell's and spent too mush money but got several varieties of salvia greggii as well as some other salvia plus some other plants I couldn't resist! |
