Nancy,
I would suggest contacting Betsy Clebsch... the "sage of Salvias." The
easiest thing to do would either be contact Timber Press (www.timber-
press.com), who published her book on Salvia, or try to find her address /
number (she lives near you in Palo Alto / Woodside). I have been to her home
(quite awhile ago), and she is an intelligent and welcoming woman... sorry I
don't have any of her info for you... I believe she is listed, though.
Good luck,
Stefanie Galgon

<< I am trying to find in our limited horticultural refs (Bailey, Hortus
III) and at local nurseries, and on the Web, the name of a tree-like
Salvia species which is a shrub that can be trained to a tree-like
form about 8 ft high. No tall Salvias in the literature fit this
form, which grows in 2 places in our city. The leaves are very
distinctive, looking like a palmately-lobed leaf with narrow linear
lobes. (It's probably pinnate, though - hard to diagnose!)
Flowers are dark purple, plant is very aromatic. Any ideas? -NH
