Gardening makes me eternally hopefully & forever grateful. It may seem a safe pursuit, but we are all risk takers, gamblers and experimentalist ❤️

@suerichards @jeatacake I’m sorry Sue but it definitely isn’t, I sold over s hundred of them at the Hampton Court Flower Show this year. I don’t know who told/sold you this as Amistad but this is what it looks like. https://www.sarahraven.com/flowers/plants/perennials_autumn_planting/salvia_amistad.htm It has a very strong scented leaf and deep blue-purple long tubed flowers. Lobelia are flared flowers as in your photo and in the link below 😊

@cosmicveggie no thank you 😊 I want to buy another one, and would have come home with the wrong plant, which would have been really annoying. 😉
