I had no idea that Lollie Jackson was such a plant collector and landscape innovator. She started her own landscaping company and pushed native plants in Houston.

Danita, the one I have has been 5' tall in late summer and blooms into December. This year the drought and watering restrictions took its toll on it. It remained low, but it's still there. If it survives the winter, I would gladly send you a cutting. I've not been successful with rooting cuttings of it, but that may be me being impatient.

We planned to take grandson to the Wildflower Center today but he broke his clavicle this morning. I thought I'd ask if anyone could ID the salvia there, but we were a little "preoccupied."
