There is very little information about this salvia on the web. I bought one at the Cabrillo College sale this weekend, and the foliage looks the same as in this link:

I later went to the UC Santa Cruz arboretum (where salvias were half off for Mother's Day!) and bought a very large Salvia curtiflora, whose foliage looks completely different. The shape is much thinner (like a thin oval), with some purple coloration, and not nearly as hairy as the Cabrillo curtiflora. The UCSC info sheet states it is semi-deciduous, blooms summer and fall [isn't curtiflora a winter bloomer??), red corolla with purple calyx, 11 ft. tall by 5 ft. wide, shade.
I wonder what it is?? I don't recognize the foliage, so it's definitely something I do not have.
