Super Salvias - 2016

That's interesting Longk.
If Bens is wrong so's mine cuz they both came from Hayloft as part of their collection.

 

Yup, very interested to know. Also funny how flowering times change throughout the country - mine is under a see through lean to and am in the south as you know Anthony, it must affect things a bit.

I'm guessing you're further north? Also I'll do you a Royal Bumble cutting when I can!

 

So I'm pretty sure Hayloft have sent some incorrectly labelled Salvias, according to what I wrote on this one's plant label it should be Peach Parfait

 

To be honest I did check my suspicions on Nibors web site before I opened my big mouth!

Ben - that one looks like it may be wrong too! "Blue Note" maybe? Bit of a job to be certain with the shrubby Salvia as there are so many cultivars.

 

That is not Peter Vidgeon, too much white. Sorry to say that Hayloft, whilst offering plants at amazing value, are known for mis-labelling.

I've never tried Salvias but I bought a nice one last week - Salvia Amistad.
The real colour is rich purple but it hasn't come out properly on the photo.

 

We'll have you starting a collection soon Michael!
Amistad is a right booger to photograph! It took me a while setting things manually to get it correct.

 

Hi Michael,

That's the one that got me hooked on them

Well, that and a certain person on here

 

And I think I know who that person might be Anthony
Now you've both got me worried !

 

Well I don't want to worry you any more, but, early last year I'd never grown a Salvia in my life, now I've got...........
