om...
Sorry to shout! But yesterday a French couple from the ile de Brehat
came in looking for a massive list of Salvias. The nursery near here
that has the national collection wouldn't 'admit' them as they put it,
until April which, as they're only here for another week isn't
helpful. We had a few they wanted but that was it. We had a Salvia
involucrata 'Mulberry Wine' which is new and which they'd never heard
of, so honour was satisfied! ;-))
I promised I'd ask this group if anyone else knows of a nursery with a
large collection of Salvias, preferably in the SW of England or indeed
anyone who would be willing to give them cuttings from their own
collection?
They're going to ring me on Thursday to see if I've had any luck, so
I'd be very grateful if anyone with helpful info. could post here or
email me asap. Another possible solution might be for anyone
travelling from the SW to Britanny to take some over later on this
year. Many thanks.
