Salvia 'Glutinosa'

Lovely salvia wish I had a better camera to show more detail, very strongly scented sticky stems and leaves.

Thanks everyone :-)
Does look like those stinging nettles doesn't it, never heard of sucking honey out of them Amy :-)
No I hadn't Karen it came in a mixed packet of Plantworld seed, identified it from the list in the catalogue, tough one, in its third year and around 31/2ft tall, reminds me of some insect eating plant as all the little black flies stick to it and can't escape,lol.
