    Many years ago when I was just getting into Salvia I bought a red form of 'S.patens' whichever wasn't S.patens. No tubers and it turned to toast in a light frost. Probably a S.American species of some sort.

    Wow but ...... not yet! It will appear I'm sure, but not yet! The blue colours, the dark or as I call it, Oxford blue, and the pale blue Cambridge blue. Plant both in the same big pot and pick off the seeds!!!

      This has been outside since the middle of 2017. There are always a couple of spares in the greenhouse over winter.
