We have little information and experience with this plant other than observations of it growing in a garden in a frost-free Santa Barbara. In this garden it is growing tall in a shaded location but likely it will take full sun or shade and would be more compact in brighter light. Give occasional irrigation. Hardiness is unknown.

This plant collected in 2014 by Jeff Chemnick at around 9000 feet near a birding lodge several hours east of Quito along a ridge dividing the dry, sparse vegetation of the central cordillera from wet and cloud forests the along the eastern Andean slope. Thinking this maybe Salvia tortuosa but not sure. We sold this plant from 2015 to 2017. 

The information displayed on this page about Salvia 'Ecuador' 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.
