Your plants all look so beautiful. My Cigar plant isn't nearly that large but it's working on it. If the bi-color Sage is Blue and Black Salvia, keep an eye on it for runners. It almost took over my back yard a few years ago, easy to pull up but a pain when it spread into places that were harder to reach.
Cool Cheryl! Everything looks so healthy and to my eye, very unusual. I am not familiar with most of your plants.
cherylad, I didn't know Cigar Plant got so big. I may put one in my yard. Of course I would have to let it live in the greenhouse for the Winter.
Toni... I was really happy that the Cigar Plant came back. The hummers just LOVE them! The Bi-color Sage isn't the Black & Blue... totally different... it has a little splotch of white. There's a photo of the Black & Blue labeled "Salvia Black" -- guess I forgot to add "blue". I dug the B&B out of the front bed, but left it in the back since it's flowering more than the other Salvias. I don't mind if it spreads a little, but if it gets out of control, no fault but my own since I was warned. Cayuga... you have many plants that I've never seen or heard of! That's what makes this place so much fun... and educational. Thank you Eileen. Barb.... the Cigar Plant died back over the winter and came back just as big and pretty as it was last year. You might be right about having to put in in the greenhouse up there.
Thanks Netty.... yes it's a Mirabilis (looks like I forgot to name it) also known as a 4 o'clock.. although mine seems to bloom around 7Pm when the shade hits it.
