Salvia ID'd as Salvia greggii
« on: June 07, 2015, 02:46:51 PM »
As usual the garden centre couldn't give me a name for this and I'd like to have an idea how big it might get before I commit to planting it!
Grateful for any suggestions

It looks like a Salvia greggii. If so, won't get too big and very easily kept to the size you want by cutting back.
