    A long blooming salvia (May to Nov) from Argentina ...

    I've phoned several garden centers around the lower mainland (Vancouver, Surrey, Langley) area and can't find it. Anyone know?

    I live in an apt. with a balcony so just need one plant. Thanks

    Just to clarify -- discovered in an Argentinian garden, but presumed to be of hybrid origin from Mexican Salvia species: United States Patent: PP23578

    That doesn't help you find it, though :-)

    Did you by any chance already call Art's Nursery in Surrey? I see they have it listed on their website but it does say it's only sold in-store and to call to check stock.

    Funny enough Sheri from Art's phoned me at 5 today to say she found one Clematis Armandii which was another plant I was looking for ... no Amistad however.
