| I think there is an Israeli commercial cross out. |

| Think that there are several hybrids of these species that are being cultivated in New Zealand and Australia. Many are very garden-worthy indeed, and often superior to the species. Also, there are some super hybrids where Salvia recognita has been involved! 'Southern Belle' for example........BUT.........this, if not invasive, is one of the fastest and rampant Salvias I have ever grown! Needs to be hacked back severely after flowering. Wonderful when in flower. |

| Here is a good article on this hybrid: http://www.herbsociety-stu.org/SalviaNeweYaar.htm Our "rampant" Salvia right now is our 3 year old gesneriifolia 'Tequila', still in full bloom. I haven't taken out the tape measure, but I believe it to be about 35 feet across and 16 feet tall. I'll try for a picture. This is the only Salvia we have here that seeds itself about with any vigor. Kermit |
