Talking of salvias, I was given S. x involucrata 'Mulberry Jam' earlier this
year. I believe it features in Betsy Clebsch's book under this name. It
seems no longer to be listed in the RHS Plant Finder (though the online
version brings up 'Mulberry Wine'). I have two questions. Is Mulbery
Jam the valid name i.e. the first to be published, or is the true name
Mullberry Wine? (Or are there two salvias with similar names?)
Secondly are these hybrids of S. involucrata and another species or
plain involucrata?
Thanks for any help
