Lobelia Tupa and Salvia Sclarea

Beautiful Kathy. Look how far down the Tupa flowers go down the stem. Does your S sclarea survive each year, mine doesnt, sadly.

Thanks HB :-)
These are my second lot of lobelia Dawn three years old now I lost my first ones yes you've guessed one of those cold winters, collecting seeds does have advantages ;-)
The salvia does survive in this spot from year to year but not in other areas of the garden these must have been here 5 or 6 years now there are a few extra self sown ones which have crept in too :-)

Ive been lucky so far with my lobelia. Wish the salvia scarlea was tougher. Like you say, saving seed is invaluable
