Super Salvias!

Here is the 1 i took the cuttings from longk..

And the 2 cuttings..



Where did you over winter yours?

 

Looking good Joolz!

In the bathroom.

 

Probably not Madahhlia if they're from the seed swap that one has just about finished already, quite an early one, it seeds around here and the seedlings don't usually flower till the following year.

 

What a shame. There's a heck of a lot of them! Should be a good show next year.

 

I have popped one in the gunnera to see how it does in there fingers crossed for a heatwave

 

I reckon that it'll need it!!!
Can't mess with mine as it's the only one that I have at the moment.

 

S.patens "Blue Angel" is the first of the hardier Salvia to bloom this year..................

 

I just got one as well and I was just wondering how hardy it is .....

 

I got it from a local nursery that had overwintered it in an 11cm pot in a sheltered and dry spot. So I reckon that like my other S.patens it will be hardy, if late to get going when left in the ground.

 

Your photo looks darker than mine are. I'll take a photo tomorrow.

Mine were from seed - so could be anything I suppose!

 

That is a good match colour wise.

 

My Salvia Blue Angel is definitely a lighter colour:

 

Kristen your leaf is more bluey as opposed to Longk's limey yellow. I wonder if its the right plant?
Still lovely as it is...

 

Looks rather like S.patens Cambridge Blue.................

 

I've grown that too ... could be a label mixup ... although yours looks like S. Oxford Blue?

Mine is early though, like yours. Is Cambridge Blue early too?

I'll wait until more of mine are flowering and see how they compare.
