@dizzykris Yes it's a great colour. I got this from Sarah Raven com I had a long wait. About two months 🙄but it finally arrived well packaged and in full bloom. It's a two ltr plant but quite leggy. I do prefer tidy plants, but I'd never had it before. Did you know that these are said to keep away Black Spot on Roses? Sarah Raven swears by it, so I thought I'd try it as I love Salvia's and it looked great in her catalogue 💜💜I discovered at our local G Centre that they do little plants of

@dizzykris these plants, and others, which is really good. My little Royal Bumble is a small one but it's flowering like mad. It was only £3.99 amazing value ♥️♥️

@midnightgardener I love the two tone, I can't wait till my 'African sky' salvia grows and blooms, it's supposed to be two tone pale blue/lilac ? We'll see.....! I'm just getting impatient now but I talk to every plant every day no matter its size and give them all encouragement, hubby thinks I'm losing it, lol, but I dont care!!!

Beautiful 🐝 I am on the lookout for a few salvias . Did a mini revamp of a bed in the front garden and I think they would be a good addition 🐝

@debs69 Hi Debs, sorry, just seen your comment on Salvia's. As well as this one, unless you already have it, I really recommend Royal Bumble. It's a fabulous Salvia and hardy too. Win win ♥️♥️

Not my Sarah Raven one, but imagine my utter surprise at the local GC today! I've never seen these anywhere before, it's just a little one but from little Acorns 😀💜💜
