I will Amy. I gave seedlings to three other friends, so they are growing well in Glasgow. I have a similar yellow Salvia that comes up each year. Will the blue one do the same?

It depends on the weather Linda they are not completely hardy its best to collect seed or take cuttings one bad winter can wipe the lot out !

I love that Salvia. I managed to overwinter it for a couple of years Linda, but as Amy says...better take some cuttings. They strike very easily, and a hard winter will kill it off.

I have two lots myself but will take cuttings. It is a fantastic colour. The Larkspur has a dusty pink variation. My friend Barbara who I gave seedlings to has a pale blue Salvia too. I'll get cuttings from her.
