Salvia identity please
I have a shrubby salvia in full bloom ATM. The bush itself is about 18
in. tall and say 4 ft. across, with flower stems extending a further 3 - 4 ft. above that. Picture at http://i17.tinypic.com/66mvnuq.jpg (there is a yardstick bottom left, for scale), and another at http://i10.tinypic.com/67hezat.jpg The flowers are purple, well spread out along the stem. the flower buds are distinctly sticky. Pics at http://i10.tinypic.com/4pweyd2.jpg and http://i18.tinypic.com/63973mo.jpg The leaves are grey-green, 4 - 5 in. long, deeply veined, and slightly furry on the undersides. Pic at http://i16.tinypic.com/5xt3zhf.jpg Grown from a cutting taken with permission from a public garden in Penzance. Can anyone put a name to it? It doesn't seem to fit the description of any in the RHS A-Z encyclo or in Phillips & Rix -- Chris E-mail: christopher[dot]hogg[at]virgin[dot]net |
