Salvia Peter Vidgeon

Such a pretty pink....is it hardy Amy?

Aren't they lovely at this time of year. I had this one. I had a good collection of them but couldn't transport them when we moved. They are so brittle, and we didn't have enough space, so they had to be jettisoned. Probably just as well though as I bought one last year and the winds here tore it to shreds!

Yes its hardy Angela it was a gift given to me the other evening on our quiz night by a friend who knew I liked Salvias , Oh karen it must be a real challenge gardening in your part of Scotland !

Yes it is....but somehow that enhances my sense of achievement!

Such a soft gentle pink.

This originates from Robin Middletons collection. He sows seed from Salvia x jamensis to see if anything interesting comes about and this was one of the successes.

Do you have it Keith ? I'm hoping to save seed next year this was a gift given to me by a friend last month I'm keeping it in its pot this winter ..

Not one that I have. Sadly the seed from S.microphylla, greggii and x jamensis don't always come true but they're worth growing to see if anything interesting comes along.

If it has seed next year I'll save you some keith !

Thank you!
