It is in flower now and I'd love to have more colour in my garden at this time of year (mid August). Description: Plant/shrub 4-5 foot tall and 2 foot wide. Flowering now. Deep purple flower heads reminding me of a pinepple sage flowerhead in shape, but not colour or size. Deep glossy green leaves. 2 photos are here.http://tinyurl.com/l89ahs I've had a look in my books and through a plant search on Crocus, but no avail. Thanks in advance from a keen amateur. Judith -- judybby Judy Although the blooms look deep blue to me it could be one of the Salvia guaranitica varieties There are several: Argentine Skies, Black and Blue, Blue Ensign, Purple Ensign google Salvia guaranitica and you will find several photos to compare. Emilie It looks like asiatic daylily to me. They're in full bloom in middle TN right now. I'm going by the second picture. Kate - could be wrong |
