gardenfish said:Eric, here's a pic of my Black and Blue. As you can see, it's clearly purple. In the plant world, what's often called a "blue bloom" is really purple. Tip; look for the words "true blue".


This doesn't look like Black and Blue to me. Black and Blue is blue, but IMHO not a very good grower.

Look to Salvia patens, s. sagittata, S. cacaliifolia, S. scutellarioides and a few others for a "true blue".
