Lobelia gibberoa

I have a thing for black (near black/maroon in reality) flowers. This is the best I've found for blackness so far.................

 

Have you come across this one? ;

That's the same one Bilbo - got the seed from Nickys!

 

Ooops so it is, missed that post above somehow , I ordered some seed for this a few days ago too

 

It was a must have as soon as I saw it!

 

Is it me? I find Nicky's Seeds website dreadful to try to browse - or am I doing something wrong?

 

I have no probs with it.

As you're sort of "in the trade" as it were, maybe it is just not intuitive to your way of working.

This is bad - try finding the Salvia page not in PDF format. It exists! Damned if I can find it again though!

 

Tried again and found a link "View with pictures" which helps, its still a single vertical list which is very user-hostile!

When I tried "With pictures" yesterday it said "Too many pictures, go away" :(

 

Dunno if it will work for this requirement, but for that type of query I usually start with Google (often in preference to a site's own "Search")

This search phrase will restrict Google to anything it has within just that specific domain:

site:greatcompgarden.co.uk salvia

[Link]

(Leave the "www." bit off the domain name)

This result looked promising:

Great seed site Longk, a new one to me so thanks for the link,off to check out what else they have now , look forward to seeing how you go with the lobelia amazing plant!!!!!!

 

I'm kinda excited by it Simbad, although I'm not taking it overly serious!
