    Hi there

    Can anyone help with an ID on this please? It's my current favourite from my small collection. I think it's a Salvia, if so which variety because I plan to buy a load more of them :-)

    I think its Salvia farinacea "Mealy Sage". A truly lovely blue Yvonne.We have a Salvia thread "Super Salvias"

    It is nice, isn't it. If you kept in the greenhouse in the winter you might be able to get it to survive, then you could take cuttings next spring.

    I bought a similar but much taller and lankier plant a few weeks ago, that one's definitely a salvia but the leaves, flowers and overall shape are not the same as your plant.
