I did a search for yvonne and found quite a few offers for seed, but all of the messages registered as missing files. The warning in red in the GW header says they are having search engine issues. Try after they have resolved the problem.

Ginnie,
There is a post on the winter sowing forum right now offering those seeds. I would post the link, but I can't get it to work. I think the title is something like, Any More Interest in Yvonne..

there is a post on the seed exchange dated 1/27 and one on the winter sowing page dated 2/9. hope this helps.

The woman who bred this giant salvia is named Yvonne Theroux. YOu can get seeds by contacting her friend, Emily. See: http://forums2.gardenweb.com/forums/load/exseed/msg03190930574.html

Thanks all for your input...I did receive some.

Wow, sorry I missed the series of posts, but is Yvonne's amazing salvia S. splendens "Van Houtei"?

Thanks.

I don't think it is derived from that clone. It may have come from regular scarlet sage, and been the result of selection over a number of years.
