Giant Tropical Salvia is a shrub which grows pretty large (this is not a Salvia, it's just the common name). I have several in the front yard. This is just one flower...typically it blooms in large clusters in summer. Photo taken Oct. 31, 2011

This shrub is a little coarse and grow to 12ft/4m tall, although I keep mine around 6ft/2m tall.

I won't. :>)
I know nothing about starting this plant from seed (not sure how successful it is). I've always started them from cuttings.
