Variegated Salvia Victoria?

18 years ago

In my otherwise completely normal six-pack of

Salvia 'Victoria' (Mealy-cup sage) I noticed

that one of the plants has creamy variegated

leaves. It's otherwise healthy and it's flowers

and leaves (other than color) are exactly

like all the others.

It is definitly NOT a tri-color sage.

I like it, would like more of it, yet have

never seen one like it before. Does anyone

know if you can purchase them?

Kathleen,
I've never heard of a variegated S.farinacea. Anybody else out there who has? This forum seems to be getting more and more quiet every day...... well...

Do you have a pic of the plant?

It has been my experience that it is common to get a few variegated Salvia Victoria when growing many from seed. Of the few I have isolated and grown on, I noted their performance was not very good and did not retain them. Hope your plant is better.
