I don't know about anybody else but I have no success with pale coloured Salvia hybrids apart from S. 'Melen'. I have tried with Salvia 'Gletsjer', S. 'Clotted Cream' and S. 'Il Pallio" (The double 'L' is correct, by the way. Nothing to do with that barbaric horse race. It is the colour of a part of Catholic religious clothing, it was explained to me). 'Clotted Cream' died as it moved into its second summer with me but it did leave me some seeds. Two germinated and one survived. That plant is now in its second year and, disappointingly, it has produced a red flower. It is also tall and lanky. I put it in the shade to photograph it. It is normally in full sun, so lack of light is not the cause of its lankiness. Perhaps I should register it as an accepted variety? Salvia 'Disappointissima'?
First 2 photos the parent plant followed by 2 photos of its offspring.
