Plant in full sun in a well-drained soil and irrigate occasionally to regularly - tolerant of overhead irrigation. Cold hardy to at least 20° F. Repeat bloom is encouraged by light tip pruning through summer months and trim dry stems and shape plants in early spring.

In many respects Salvia x jamensis 'Sierra de San Antonio' is similar to one of the Salvia greggii cultivars but is actually considered to be a hybrid between Salvia greggii and Salvia microphylla. This hybrid cross was described by the English botanist James Compton after plants of this parentage were collected near the village of Jame in the Coahuila province in 1991. It can be found in areas were the two species overlap in the Sierra Madre Occidentale in Coahuila and neighboring San Luis Potosi between 6,500 and 9,800 feet.

In 1988, prior to Compton's naming of the hybrid cross between Salvia greggii and Salvia microphylla, Carl Schoenfeld and John Fairey collected plants in this area and introduced several at Yucca Do Nursery, including this cultivar, which we have been growing since 1994. 

The information displayed on this page about Salvia x jamensis 'Sierra de San Antonio' is based on our research conducted about this plant from books in our nursery library as well as from information that is provided by reliable online resources. We also have included our own observations made about it as it grew in the nursery gardens and other gardens visited, as well how the crops of this plant performed in the containers when we had them in our nursery field. We also include comments received from others and welcome hearing from anyone who has information about this plant, particularly if it includes cultural information aiding others to better grow it.
