Salvia clevelandii - Winifred Gilman
Fragrant Blooms, California Native Gem
Probably the most desirable of all native Salvias for its attractive color, form and most of all, for its delectable foliar fragrance, which I find very sexy - even at my age - ha! Blooming May and June, its hummingbird-magnet, tubular flowers are held in whorls atop the 3'x3' nicely rounded form. Upright in growth, it makes an outstanding filler in a dry garden and works very well as the backbone of a difficult garden site. Now here's the thing - S. Clevelandii requires excellent drainage or it gets cranky - so plant it on a slope or provide most excellent drainÂage. Deer resistant. Drought tolerant.

Guarantee
We guarantee the perishable items we sell to be in good, viable condition when we sell them. Perishable items include, but are not limited to, garlic bulbs, flower bulbs, seed potatoes, onion sets & transplants, potted or bare root trees, vegetable crowns, etc. If your perishable item arrives in substandard condition, take photographs and please contact us within 3 days of the purchase date (or delivery date) and we will provide you with a refund of the purchase price (excluding shipping costs), or a replacement. Accordingly, we urge you to open any boxes marked as ""Perishable"" immediately upon receiving them and inspect the shipment thoroughly (do not crack open heads of garlic, we do not accept claims on cracked garlic). Because some perishable items can deteriorate very quickly, we cannot accept any claims beyond the 3-day time frame as it becomes too difficult to determine if these items were delivered in substandard condition, or if they turned into such substandard condition because of having been improperly cared for or stored once delivered.
