| Some Salvia collectors want to obtain a broad range of sages including all the new introductions on the market.

Instead, FBTS focuses on selecting the most superior new plants even when introducing its own hybrids in its series of Rainbow Jame Sages. Ask Mr. Sage is a regular feature based on calls and emails received by FBTS. |
