Just proved the point!! ;-) I don't know where you live but the National
Collection of Salvias is at Pleasant View Nursery, just outside Newton
Abbot, Devon.
You may just have to be content that you have a lovely plant and it's a
Salvia. ;-)

I am, I am.
I'm in Normandy by the way, (hope that won't disqualify me from receiving
further help!)

Next time I visit Dartmoor, I'll pay a visit to Pleasant View.

Check the opening times because they're not open until Easter and then
closed certain days of the week etc.
I used to live in Jersey and now live in Devon - both are very similar to
Normandy in many ways. A few years ago I visited Trevieres and felt I'd
hardly left Devon!
