I am responding to some of the above posts. In fact I typed and spell checked my previous post and it came back with ' a problem has occurred ' and everything disappeared. David,my cutting of Salvia 'Amante' couldn't take the sudden arrival of the hot weather and died . Your Salvia lyrata 'Purple knockout' looks good in the pot. My much travelled 'lyrata' has not come back this year. I think the ants took away the seeds. Also my Salvia 'Caradonna' is gone. However, my seedlings of Salvia taraxacifolia thank you Umbrian, germinated quickly and are looking good. I shall grow them in the pot to make sure they stay alive. Some of this Spring's seeds of Salvia viridis have already started to flower. One is only 12 centimeters tall with tiny insignificant blue flowers. I am waiting for its blue tufts to appear so I can photographed it. There are some more promising ones so I will be patient.
