Salvia patens 'Patio Deep Blue'

This one is still blooming in the front border and managed to collect a few seeds from it too in case it doesn't survive our Winter #salvia #latebloomer

Good planning! It didn’t in mine last year!

@rachelbrooks there's loads of new growth at bottom so I'm going to leave the stems on to protect the base hopefully 😄

🤞🏼👍🏼

That is a #trueblue! 💙

Oh gorgeous Keely, I think mine has finished now. I’ve tried to collect some seeds but I’m not sure whether they are actually seeds or not. I’m going to sow them and see 💙💙

Fantastic. Might have to look out for this one next year 👍

@pelly give me a shout if they don't take I will have spares to share Hun 😘

@jeatacake hoping it survives winter Jeff it's pretty delicate but I'm going to leave old stems on to protect the base from frost hopefully 😄

@KariSamuel it is sure blue that's what drew me to it 😄

Oh great, thanks Keely 💙😘

I'm not too well up on these, but good luck and fingers crossed

Hard to focus on this one it's so blue #secondflush
