Ohhhhhhh thank you Simbad!! :D
Very beautiful~~
You grew them from seeds.........
I don't know whether I can do that.........
Because I'm useless when it comes to growing plants from seeds......
But maybe I should give it a try next year......

Can sow now Tommymoo but then you just have to overwinter them, spring will be fine, some of mine flowered first year as I sowed them really early in a heated propogater so you may have to wait till year after for flowers, just sow on the surface, don't cover with soil, as for some reason salvias grow better that way!!! thats what it says on packet anyway, the same with the Salvia Patens, thats if I sent that can't remember now,lol.

First year I've grown this one, but my turkestanica is flowering for the third time and its growing new leaves again now I've cut it back, packet says HB/HP, so probably best to collect seeds just in case.
Thanks Pip c really pleased with this one, quite a new variety I think, as you say great colour :-)

Great advice Simbad!! Much obliged!!!
I've got Salvia Patens too, lucky me :)
This is flowering for the 3rd time in 1 season?
Amazing!!! Can't wait to see mine next year!!!
