Salvia greggii  - "Flame"

I bought three 1 gallon plants today. I have been meaning to get some of this. The nurseries always have the pink but not the deep red, so I went ahead and got some.

"Indigo Spires"



I planted these out under the tree in the front yard in the fall last year. They died back over the winter but have now put up new leaves. There are three of them. even though they were all the same size when I planted them they are now large, medium and small. Hmmm...? Wonder why. Still no blooms...waiting. Also, I thought they would have filled out more than this by now, I was expecting them to be larger and more bushy.

These bloomed, but when the trees filled in their location had too much shade so they didn't really do very well. If they come up next year I will move them to a new location.
