                  Salvia rosmarianus prostrate form this always seems to have flowers on it and on a dry sunny day in winter often has bees.

                          Its about 2ft 6in but has a 3ft+ spread, a bit difficult and untidy to be honest, but I like the fact you get a fruit after about 3 yrs.

                            It would take up a fair bit of room indoors then? I don't think I'd have the patience to wait three years.

                              Not really easy to accommodate as a house plant.
