This Salvia is looking a bit Woody, but the flowers are lovely. It must be at least two years old or more. That's why cataloguing is useful, adding a date helps too, but I forget sometimes 🙄💙💙

@pelly Oh dear, mines hanging on. I even thought of getting rid of it but, decided not to. My friend Chris has given me a clump of Japanese Anemone's, no idea where I'm going to put them. I wanted them though! I'll sort it I thought 😁 they're very tall so need to go to the back somewhere 💕💕

@dizzykris Great stuff! Salvia's are too of my list. I can't count how many I've got. I just recently bought the Royal Bumble x 2 of. They're absolutely great. The flowers are quite big and so red. I love that ♥️♥️

@anges Thank you Ange. I must have had this about two years now and it seems quite hardy. It comes back lovely each time. I just had a lovely Salvia surprise, watch this space 💜💜

I can hardly believe it; my Blue Note stopped flowering a while ago, but it-s started again. Lots of colour on it today 😊😊💙💙💜💜

I thought this had stopped flowering weeks ago; but it has now, as this piece had broken off. Puppy intervention or it could have been me getting in a tangle with Morning Glory 😊😊💙💙
