Amy this is the one from the mixed seed I was telling you about, do you think it looks the same as yours?, or is the leaf different? this gets to around 2ft.

Just had a look Drc and sure you're right, especially as the picture I saw of Amy's was 'Purple Rain' too, quite a few of Spritz's pictures of it on there, thankyou going to rename it now:-)

I like it growing with the lychnis, what have you been feeding yours on Tet? as it is 3ft tall lol

The lychnis does sometimes get a little bigger than this Tetrarch but not 3ft must be our heavy clay and lack of rain, although we did have lots yeaterday :-))))
Thanks DD:-)
Flippin slugs are a pain Carole I had one in the greenhouse,( well a huge snail actually)eating all my seedlings, hunted it down though,:-)))
They are lovely aren't they Dawn, got so many varieties from.... yes you've guessed it Plantworld mixed seed:-)))

It does look like any of mine Simbad but Spritzhenry grows a lot to and the leaf, flower and height looks like it might be Salvia vercillicata 'Purple Rain? Its on Goypeadia 'Salvias' page.
