Every once in a while we have a new plant that the bees and other wild things create. When they appear exceptional and different from the “rest” we try to make more of them. Salvia ‘JJ’ was spotted by two of our employees both named Jaime, growing on one of the hills next to our nursery. It’s a cross between black sage and purple sage a likely bee creation with green leaves and bright big pink flowers. A very strong grower too. We have some supply right now for your garden and we’re making more.
