Positive	Marilynbeth	On Jul 26, 2006, Marilynbeth from Hebron, KY wrote: Lowe's had gallons of it Summer 2006 and I just had to have another Salvia! First year time growing it. Have it in the garden and hoping it will overwinter. 9/12/07..... Plant survived the Winter and now has blooms and buds! Flower looks even more beautiful and 'rosier' in color than last yearI I'll add a photo or two later. Wished I had bought more than one gallon at Lowe's last year. They didn't offer it this year and last year was the first time I've seen it there. 10/25/07: This year 'Rosea' is even more beautiful with a deeper and richer rosy pink! I didn't do anything to it different from 2006 to 2007. It's a winner of a Salvia!
