I have both Salvia regla & Salvia darcyi. The Regla (Mountain Sage) regrows from the woody stems. Darcyi (Red Mountain Sage) dies to the ground in the winter and expands via runner, much like Garanitica. I find that both can take a great deal of sunshine. S.regla doesn't need much water, but I find that S.darcyi does. If these aren't blooming, it's likely because they need more sun. (No, Stacy, I didn't get the S.darcyi from you. But I do agree that it is a mightly tough plant and one of my flowerbed favorites.) Here is a [really bad photo of a] hummingbird enjoying the nectar.
