    Hi thanks for looking..
    This one is a salvia,i got the seed from seed swap2012:) i also got salvia forsskaolii and verticiatta so i know it isnt them as they are growing on nicely:biggrin:

    This one was a cutting from a friend,the leaf looks quite similar to the above but this is trailing from the plant pot..

    Top one could be Salvia glutinosa, bottom one could be tangerine sage, S elegans. Easier to tell when they flower!

      I did sow some of them as well but i didnt manage to get any to germinate......these seeds wasnt named so it would be nice if they turned out glutinosa :) x

      You can have my S glutinosa if you want. I'm not doing anything with it and it needs a home. Where do you live?

            Anyone got a S bethellii? I've had one for several years, planted out, and last year it was fantastic but this year it's a no-show.

            My S.patens and S."Black and Blue" that were left in the beds last year are only just emerging, so don't give up just yet.

              Could be but i have no idea simbad,the leaf has a deep red edge line...then the oceana(pic no2) has a red tinge on the edges so im thinking this is a salvia characteristic on some varities :dunno:
              The forsskaolii leaf is completely diff again thou.....reminds me more of savoy cabbage:heehee:
              Divinorum i know and have and i do also have a blue one in the garden already which i will need an ID on when it flowers again ,i lost the tag:redface: xx
