This Salvia has surprised me because of the size of it's flowers. The flowers are about 1 inch and that makes this Salvia showy. The leaves also kept looking fresh and nice through our summer 's drought and heat in my sheltered southfacing garden. I 'm recently disappointed about the very tiny yellow flowers of S. roborowski that I've pulled out. It is flowering for the first time for me after sowing. I've planted the seedlings out in spring 2003.
I like it that it's flowering somewhat later in the season (august). As far I can judge it: it's a keeper in my garden.

Salvia glutinosa is also called Sticky Sage. The calyx of the flower is very sticky..
