I sure hope your "one stinking seed" germinates and grows! I'd love to see hybrids from this species.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05251272906203857137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8292730528124689534.post-75709733627196328852012-07-25T15:02:09.614-07:002012-07-25T15:02:09.614-07:00Just realized my phrasing in that comment was ambi...Just realized my phrasing in that comment was ambiguous... I've not been able to cross S. roemeriana with anything, S. guaranitica, as I said, does cross with some stuff, though it is a pain. 100+ pollinations for one stinking seed.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14433418903218452909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8292730528124689534.post-52283617532467089602012-07-25T15:01:02.134-07:002012-07-25T15:01:02.134-07:00Love this sage too.

I've not been able to get it to cross with ANYTHING, and S. roemeriana (along with lyrata and a couple others) is actually more closely related to the European sages like S. nemorosa than the other new world sages. I've been able to cross it with S. involucrata, and I think there are recorded crosses with S. splendens.Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14433418903218452909noreply@blogger.com
