Sorry for the wait, Duane!
Yippee!
The Convolvulus cantabricus looks pretty adorable so I think that I'll try that, please. Thank You!
Ahhh, S. gravida! As a Salvia geek, I'm miffed at myself for not getting that one. By the way, how is it performing? Do you get any blooms before winter or does it just bloom in the greenhouse?
I'm amazed at how much the S. gravida leaves look like those of Salvia rubescens subsp. dolichotrix. (The leaves on subsp. dolichotrix look very different from another subspecies of Salvia rubescens with the silvery leaves.) Check out the photos in the links below. Now, I know it says "Salvia orthostachys" but Salvia rubescens subsp. dolichotrix was mistakenly distributed in Europe under that name for many years. The real Salvia orthostachys looks noticeably different.
