The 'lip' is actually purple! The leaves are wonderful - all crinkly. I'll get a better photo when I can actually plant this.

Very unusual.....

Yes, it is - and they shouldn't have called it 'Blue Lips' - people think it's like 'Hot Lips' and it's not a shrubby Salvia, it's a herbaceous one!

ooh this is unusual-for me! :-)

That's a nice one!

I was really pleased to find it, Meanie. Salvias are my second favourite plant group. I bought another one - S. koyamae - at the same time. It's supposed to like shade and flower in the autumn! :-))

S. koyamae looks interesting!

Yes, and it's a beautiful plant. It gives me a good excuse/reason to start removing some Euphorbia robbiae to make a space for something MUCH nicer. ;-)

Lovely when you can pull out something you find dull and replace with something as beautiful as this!

Sorry I confused you, K. This one is a sun lover. It's the other one (not flowering yet) that's in the shade.

OK got it!

The other one should flower in the autumn - yellow flowers, the label says. :-)
