Salvia nemorosa 'Plumosa'

It reminds me of a lilac blossom! Very beautiful!

It does look like lilac it also reminds me of stocks!

Yes - I can see it, now you mention it. I'm very fond of this plant. :-)))

Dont blame you, I was looking at my garden borders billowing with Forgetmenots and London Pride all of which need to be cut back and wondering what it will look like when they have gone and what will replace them!

I bit the bullet and chopped back all my forget-me-nots on Wednesday, as they'd really gone over. It looks a bit odd without that cloud of blue (and pink!) at the moment. There are other plants waiting 'in the wings' though - and I'm sure there are in your garden, too. :-))

this is a pretty alternative, i will have to keep my eye out for it.

It's definitely hardy, Sbg - it came through last winter fine!
