Deciduous Salvia Part Vii: The Hybrids The focus of this seventh article in the series on Salvia are those deciduous hybrids which make good perennial garden specimens. Check out our other articles in the series where we discuss other Salvia types such as the woody Salvia. The following are descriptions of hybrids of the species mentioned in the previous articles in the series. Salvia 'Anthony Parker' (Anthony Parker Sage) This hybrid from South Carolina garden designer Frances Parker is a cross between Salvia leucantha 'Midnight' x S. elegans (Pineapple sage). Frances rescued the young seedling from her lawn just ahead of the mower and named it for her young grandson, Anthony, who was one year old at the time (1994). Salvia 'Anthony Parker' makes a compact, 3' tall x 8' wide clump that is covered, from late September until frost, with 1' long, terminal, dark purple flower spikes. The purple spikes are adorned with dark purple calyxes as well as dark blue purple (RHS 89A) flowers. (Hardiness Zone 8-10) Salvia 'Balsalmisp' PP 18,054 (Mystic Spires Sage) (aka: S. 'Mystic Spires') Salvia 'Balsalmisp' is a great new creation from the folks at Ball Seed. Unfortunately, it is also another disgraceful example of incorrect/double naming from a company that should have respect for proper nomenclature. Salvia 'Balsalmisp' started its life in 2003 as a radiation induced mutation on the popular S. 'Indigo Spires'. Salvia 'Balsalmisp' has much shorter internodes, making it a more compact plant than its parent. Narrow flower spikes of violet blue top the 2' tall clump from June until fall. (Hardiness Zone 8-10) Salvia 'Indigo Spires' (Indigo Spires Sage) This hybrid of Salvia farinacea and Salvia longispicata comes from California horticulturist John MacGregor and was introduced in 1979 by the Huntington Botanical Garden. S. 'Indigo Spires' has dark blue purple flowers, borne on long, arching 3' tall stalks throughout summer until frost. The unusual, twisting flower spikes create a form of their own in the garden. (Hardiness Zone 8-10) Salvia 'Phyllis Fancy' (Phyllis Fancy Sage) Named for Phyllis Norris, this wonderful seedling, thought to be a hybrid between Salvia leucantha and possibly S. chiapensis, occurred at the University of California Santa Cruz Arboretum. It is similar but larger and hardier than S. 'Waverly' and has been perennial to 8 degrees F in our trials. The 7' tall clumps are only 1' wide at the bottom but have a 7' wide spread at the top. Starting in early September and continuing until frost, the clumps are topped with 1' long purple spikes of light lavender flowers, each held in a bicolor calyx, purple on top and green on the bottom. (Hardiness Zone 7b-9) Salvia 'Purple Majesty' (Purple Majesty Sage) Salvia 'Purple Majesty' is a hybrid of Salvia guaranitica and Salvia gesneriflora 'Tequila' from California's Huntington Botanical Garden. Salvia 'Purple Majesty' is much slower-growing than its parent, clumping instead of spreading. The 3' tall clumps are topped with short spikes of dark purple flowers. (Hardiness Zone 8-10) Salvia 'Silke's Dream' (Silke's Dream Sage) Salvia 'Silke's Dream' is a cross of Salvia darcyi x Salvia microphylla, discovered by Art Petley of Austin, Texas. Looking superficially like Salvia darcyi, the 3' wide clump is topped all summer with 15" spikes of rich, dark orange red flowers (RHS 42A). In the fall, the number of flowers explodes into a solid mass of color. (Hardiness Zone 7-10) Salvia 'Waverly' (Waverly Sage) Salvia 'Waverly' is a Salvia leucantha hybrid, possibly of English origin, originally distributed as Salvia 'San Marcos Lavender'. The 5' tall clumps are topped with light pink-lavender flowers from late summer through fall. (Hardiness Zone 8b-10) We hope that you try out various members of the genus Salvia as they are all garden worthy.
