Plant identification please

I am currently in Funchal in Madeira and came across this plant in one of the public parks .Can anyone identify it please ? ( sorry not a very clear photo )

 

Has the look of a Salvia, but not sure which one. Try S. leucantha

 

Yep, salvia leucantha. I grow a few clumps of it here; although tender it is reasonably hardy here. Makes large beautiful plants from mid summer well into autumn. A real eye catcher

 

@martyn bromley thanks for the photo and @Palustris for the ID - Ive overwinter a pot of this that i bought in Wyevale garden center at the end of the year bargain bucket sale. Due to pot it on to make a bigger plant, so will hope it will look like that in the future

 

Thanks for your comments .

 

Many thanks for confirming the identification
