Another blue salvia that I like is S.corrugata and which I have been growing
for about a year - from memory I don't think that it is listed in Betty
Clebsch's book on salvias (don't have the book with me to check). It grows
to about 1m high - woody at the base - the leaves are quite dark green,
leathery and rugose with wonderful tan hairs underneth and the flowers also
seem 'hairy' - they are flowering now (mid winter) in my garden. Has anybody
else heard of it or got more info?
