Trends for 2010 are:

"Crops that Pop" - Salvia 'Wendy's Wish' PPAF |
|
This plant really pops!! A real crowd pleaser here in California, with near continuous outstanding hot lipstick pink blooms, held above glossy green foliage. A great selection for Xeric or low water plantings. In time the plants will form medium mound, 40" high x 40" wide. Ideal to give some needed height to summer pots & border plantings.
