Absolutely gorgeous! I think that's the most beautiful one I've seen yet. I sure hope it survives for you, too.

It is good to see that Barry Yinger & Andrew Yih-Shyue Wong have rebuilt Asiatica from the fire they went through a few years ago. If Barry is behind the distribution of a plant, its identity is much more likely to be accurate. If we are lucky, he will inherit some of Dan Hinkley's gems from Heronswood and continue to make them available.

Agreed, Rich and Brenda!

Isn't the colors and patterns on this salvia to die for?!

Absolutely gorgeous. How large is this plant in real life? Is it supposed to be a hardy perennial?

Becky

Matias, thank you for your nice comment, and welcome to the Salvia group! What salvias are you growing?

Becky, 'Shi Ho' and another cultivar "Momobana' (latter is patterned identically as 'Shi Ho' except it is bright pink) survived last year's winter here in Wilmington, Delaware. The transplant was not large, about 18 inches, and I won't be able to comment on height or width really until next summer when I see how they grow in a different location where there is a bit more sunlight. Asiatica had them as light shade adapted but I placed them in an area where there was not enough light and they just sulked, so I had to move them.

thanks Joseph
