Thats pretty, I have bought a couple of salvia Caradonna this year for the first time, I hope they survive in my garden :)

Thanks Daylily :-), I've just googled Caradoona thats a lovely one :-), I bought 'Wendy's Wish' at the same time as this kept it in the greenhouse overwinter but even in there it died :-( , I have some lovely ones grown from mixed Plantworld salvia seeds and they all seem to be bone hardy.
How's 'Bela Lugosa' doing any buds ?, I've had a couple starting to open but the first few flowers are rarely good enough for a picture, 'String Bikini' today don't think its the weather for that!!!!!!! lol.

Hi Simbad, definitely not the weather for that one today ,lol, and yes I have got a few flower scapes coming I noticed a few days ago. 'Stafford' doesnt look like it has any but still in the pot at the moment waiting to get the chance/time to plant out, but am hoping to do that this week. I have bought a few things from Gardeners World Live over the years and they are supposed to be hardy but they havent survived winter, however, an agapanthus which I didnt expect to survive did through the last 3 cold winters in a north/west facing position but I do think its sheltered there thats why I put it there. PS there was a lot of 'wendys wish' at the GWL show this year! :))
