In my yard and weather conditions at least, this plant spreads like wildfire. I started out with three a couple of years ago and this spring there are at least two dozen to be pulled up and given away...and I will still have a dozen or more to move to the front garden.

I just love the blooms of this Salvia and so do the Hummingbirds! I have successfully overwintered this indoors 2 winters now and will start more from cuttings :)
