    Do you like salvias graham? I have a couple of different perennial varieties, forsskaolii, glutinosa, verticillata 'purple rain' and a darker blue not sure of the name but here's a picture, grown from a packet of Plantworld mixed seeds got quite a few different varieties,unfortunately still haven't identified them all, not a very good picture.

      Although not always perennial think my absolute favourite has to be salvia sclaria, they appeared in the packet of seed too never seen them before and wondered what on earth was going to grow from this huge strange drooping bud, till it expanded and grew and grew, I was in love :love30::heehee:, now I have 3 different colours 'Piemont' being my favourite, lovely dark purple bracts.

      I received my plants from Graham yesterday. Great big clumps :rolleyespink: :yess:
      I understand he still has some left so let him know :dbgrtmb:

      Thanks Graham :D

      I'll be sorting out the ones for you but they won't be anywhere near as big as they're only fairly new.

      Sorry to hear you've been poorly Graham. Hope you're up and about soon.

      In the New Forest this week, part holiday/part working on a project but will be in touch when we get home.
