S. Icicle together with S. Black knight, going well together.
Salvia confertiflora, a beautiful plant. Fairly tall growing to 1.3-2 m tall, is quite brittle. It is happy with some support from other plants to lean on. Its small iridescent orange flowers are held in velvety brownish calyxes, so very pretty.
Salvia adenophora, here happily growing between Agapanthus.
Another tall, lanky Salvia from Mexico. I has clusters of beautiful red, somewhat furry flowers from autumn to late spring. Its textured foliage is scented.cent. It grows to about 2 m tall and can tolerate a part-shaded site. It also benefits from the support of other shrubs nearby.
Salvia hispanica, commonly known as chia, native to central and southern Mexico and Guatemala.
It is an annual and reseeds every year and produces these pretty sky blue flowers. I let if flower where ever it is happy to do so.
Salvia Waverly produces from spring into autumn a haze of soft purple, with a little pruning in between to encourage new flowers.

So many different kinds. I have one. I tried the blue one but it couldn't survive the dry weather.
ReplyDeleteDiane, many are tough when established. Especially the Salvia leucantha types.I never water mine, unless they are small and newly planted, or it is a really hot and dry spell in spring. You have got a lovely flower garden, perhaps you should try some others. You are welcome to get some cuttings any time.
