Although it is patented, the progeny is allowable to be sold, as long as it is given another name. There is a risk that you might not get the same plant, anyway. A lot of these selfed, or more likely cross-pollinated greggiis are going to be very variable.

I have a greggii that I call San Rafael Salmon. Every seedling from it (open pollinated) has come up different in habit and flower color.

Its ok I just would love to try it. chances are it probably wont come true but you dont know if you dont try.Does it set seeds?

I'm pretty sure it does. Any seed I might send you might have some pretty wild crosses, so good luck! There may be some seed this spring, provided that the weather cooperates.

I'm hoping to get some seed of the scarlet form of Salvia dichlamys. This one promises to be a monster performer. The big, thirsty mother plant is growing like a weed and trying to resume blooming already, along with Salvia sp. SL411 (sect. Biflorae).

Thanks Richard, will be looking forward to the seeds if they are forthcoming.

My salvia dichlamys hasnt flowered as of yet.

Salvia Sl411 is a monster and flowers all year round, its cousin salvia squalens is in bud so eagerly awaiting for the flowers.

Salvia caymanensis is setting a lot of seeds so will be sending some of shortly.

Cheers Annette

I had seeds of S. dichlamys from Mexico last year... would be unkind if I were to refer to it as a thug.....but it is!!!

Extremely floriferous, lovely scarlet flowers. We had such a crazy summer last year, 4 seasons in a day for 2 months (London is NOT always like this) Don't think that it survived winter outside, too early to tell, but cuttings taken in August are flowering. Another form of dichlamys, discovered 3 or 4 years ago, given the spurious name of Salvia c.f. darcyi, (NOTHING like darcyi) is an altogether better plant here, not quite such a thug, and is a great addition to a summer border.

What on earth has this do do with 'Teresa'?

Have we gone off-topic suddenly?

Teresa appears to be a lovely greggii/microphylla cultivar...there are so many...but the new one known as 'Peter Vidgeon' may just be the best of all! This is sublime!!!
