can anyone identify these two plants, please?

Yay, got it right

 

Most likely Amistad but maybe Purple Majesty or Dark Knight.

 

Here's another shot of the salvia. It's certainly a lovely plant, and I can see why I took a cutting last September.

My next question, is - is it winter-hardy, or do I need to take cuttings/bring it inside for the winter? Last winter, the plant lived on table my craft room, but it's quite a lot bigger now!

(Note to self - remember to add the photo!)

 

I have Amistad and have to lift,cut back and pot it and over winter keeping it dry in the greenhouse as it is not hardy here.

 

Yikes, if you need to take such action in Dorset, @strongylodon , I certainly will here!!

Ah well, forewarned is forearmed, as they say!
