Blooms grow in huge clusters that produce a perfume that overrides cultivars that you thought, up to now, were overwhelming. California Sally was registered in 1999. Bud obtained this cutting in 1970. This variety could have been around since 1968. During that time, it was commonly called Bud’s Sally in California and then when it spread to other states, it was called Bud’s California Sally. It was registered later as California Sally. During that early period it was also sold as Bellevista and some knew it as Jameson’s. Everybody that got it under those names shared it with those names and may not realize they have a California Sally. Easy/fast rooter, thick branching, fast grower, generous bloomer, hearty. 1/3 of the tips usually bloom. Smells like salsa.
