Salvia greggii San Antonio?

17 years ago

Recently on a stroll thru a retail garden center I came across a tray full of salvia greggii san antonio. At least that's what they were all marked. But the flowers on these salvia were a solid coral pink color. Would this be a case of the nursery mislabeling their product or do the san antonios (which I thought were bicolors) revert to solid colors (like s. microphylla Hot Lips is known to do)?

I've had S. San Antonio for about 10 years and have never had it be other than the multicolor it is suppose to be.... I have some in full sun and some in part shade... no difference.
