Ah, this Salvia is the one that Nick Bailey (Gardeners World) says he always plants as it is such a good performer.
I am tempted to buy one after seeing yours, it does look perfect.

Thanks Shirley, ah yes I like Nick Bailey, a couple of them were 9cm pots and they have grown as well as the 2 larger ones I bought, I have had them before but moved them and they seemed to not do so well and disappeared, also I had a split off one years ago which i gave my mom that grew well too so will be looking out for those

Daylily, I treated myself to one of these Salvias this morning. As we drove into the car park I saw some of the flower beds were planted with them, many covered in Bees.
I am really working hard to have pollinator friendly plants.
