I have many favorites, some of my best performers are Wendy's and Ember's Wish (in pots). Grace Pink, Salvia Darcyi (Vermillion Bluffs) and the Heatwave Series Salvia's. I have had mixed results with the Elk Salvia's about half have done well and returned I may not have enough humidity for them. I am trying a few new varieties this year as well. I would include the Windwalker as a great performer but I have grown them two seasons and I can't get them to come back had to replace them last year, this year I am trying something else two years of zero return (3 plants each year) and I am moving on, I question their zone 5 hardiness. Ultra Violet did well for me as well and both plants have returned! Hope that helps!
