Salvia Argentea

Bought yesterday for my south facing border whilst with Rose!
We spent a lovely afternoon, Rose buying shrubs and perennials, which she'll no doubt upload, and me this attractive woolly leaved salvia and three callunas for my raised bed.
It was so nice meeting her..:)

Janey, this looks so unusual that I Googled images of it and think it's going to look lovely for you next year.

I bet you and Rose had a lovely time choosing your plants ... :o)

Thanks Klahanie..;:) I think it will look unusual. The flower stem emerges from the centre, it'll be interesting to see it develop..

How lovely, Janey, to meet Rose and shop together at a garden centre. Sounds like a great afternoon, and with new plants to look forward to growing too … perfect!

That's going to be a very pretty Salvia, Janey. I've missed your pics as I'd had a busy one this week. I'm pleased you and Rose had a lovely time, sounds like a really nice meet up x

It was Sheila and to hear all about her garden and plans for it.
I'm hoping the Salvia will survive the winter. I'm thinking I could pot it on and keep it in the greenhouse, what do you think? x

Thanks Kate, yes I think it will be..:) Don't worry Kate I know how much stress time you must put in, Katherine my daughter is a staff nurse and she's always tired out. We did, it was a real treat. x

Your plan sounds a good one Janey - you definitely wouldn’t want to lose such a gorgeous plant. x

I agree about keeping it in the g'house, Janey. It will also give it the chance to grow a bit bigger before planting outside.

Thanks Sheila and Ange. I did decide to put it in sheltered spot yesterday, so fingers crossed! I've a feeling my gh would be far too cold and damp.. :((
