1. I wish more of them were perennial here.

I've got Hot Lips, Black and Blue, and a whole bunch of Lady in Red plus its white and pink versions. And of course the regular blue salvia, the white blue salvia, and regular red and pastel annual salvias.

I tried growing chia here last year. It never quite made it to bloom, budded up when the frost took it, but the foliage was nice all summer and it had a wonderful fragrance. It is good foliage filler in combo pots as long as not overwatered. Climates with a longer fall before frost would see the blooms.
