I'll take one for you Gg, this is a monster salvia,fully hardy and doesn't mind a bit of shade, I call it my fly catcher it's really sticky, the tiny black flies stick to it and can't escape !!!

That is very different! I notice you have a nice collection of the Salvias.

Thanks Wylie, yes I do have a few, I grew some mixed Plantworld salvia seeds a few years ago and this one was among them, I managed to identify most from their seed catalogue.
I'll do it later Gg ;-)

I have a S, glutinosa, mine seems to be yellower. Every time I attend to it I get my long hair glued to it.

This is a bit yellower than its showing Siris its in quite a bit of shade so the cameras not picking up the colour well, it smells lovely too doesn't it mines near a path and when it first flowered I spent ages trying to figure out where this lovely scent was coming from :-)

Mine grew over the path and everything else in its way!!!

Lol Meanie, think you have something in your soil that makes plants grow extra huge, your lobelia Tupa grew pretty big too, compared to mine anyway ;-), you need a whip and a chair to tame them lol.

My S.glutinosa is so rampant that if a long branch sags to the ground it roots and starts another plant off!

Oh heck I've never had that before!! mine are in quite a bit of shade though.

Just been to smell it, as i'v never noticed a scent before. Maybe slightly citrusy.
Ps didn't know they rooted from layered shoots. Seeds prolifically thought.
