Two Salvias I am cherishing at the moment are Salvia Blue/Black, and the tall Salvia Gaurantica 'Purple Majesty'. The flower colours are unbelievable. The Blue/Black has the bluest flower I have ever seen, with the most gorgeous contrasting lime green foliage. Love it. This would suit any kind of garden. It does spread a bit, and both die down completely over winter, but pops up again with gorgeous leaves in mid-spring.

Then the Guarantica (above) is really tall (about 1.5m), with the flower being an unusual purple.You would only use the guarantica in a large garden, near the back. I want mine to spread so it forms quite a backdrop over summer.
I get mine from Penny Bunny at Abbotsford Gardens in Masterton. She is a marvellous plantswoman, with a gorgeous garden that is sometimes open to the public. I have found all sorts of new treasures thanks to Penny!!!
