Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A selection from Betsy Clebsch's garden, 'Mulberry Jam' is smaller and more upright than the species. Large, rounded, dusky magenta buds open into vivid, fuzzy pink, tubular flowers nicely toned down by deep purple calyxes. Revered by hummingbirds, this bushlike Salvia makes a perfect addition to the meadow garden with Salvia 'Nekan' and Aster 'Ochtendgloren' for a blend of late season pinks.
