Hi.... Has anyone ever heard or grown this plant? I watched a garden show on PBS Sunday in Springfield, Oregon and it was showing them and they were so pretty. I would like to get some but i cannot find any places that have seeds or plants. I will try and look for them when i go out there in July. Greg

It appeared to be a perennial on the show.. He had it outside in a long flowerbed. Maybe its just available around Oregon? Greg

Sorry it was Jerusalem Sage...from a PBS show called Smart Gardening...
