Howdy folks.
An old friend approached me Saturday wanting an "old-time salvia". She knew she wanted salvia farinacea but noted that so many of todays varieties/cultivars are not to her liking. She says this should be the "real" one and should not have a name (as in "Victoria" or "Strata"). Also she mentioned that what she is looking for is not a low-growth plant but tends to grow 3 feet high or more.

Anyone out there have any info about this? And perhaps can steer me to a source for this particular salvia?
Many thanks!
