Comments (5)I will confirm that this plant originated in the old Salvia garden at Cabrillo College (the garden had to be moved to make way for a parking lot!) I believe it was thought to be a cross between S. gesneriiflora and S. guaranitica. I'm sorry to report that Jean Coria, for whom this Salvia was named, died last November. She was the heart and soul of the "Salvia Department" at Strybing Arboretum, in San Francisco, for many years. I'm glad I was able to work with her...she is greatly missed!...See Morerusty_blackhaw
