Couldn't let this pass without comment. I have tried this at least twice
over the years, once in the open garden in a nearly-frost-free area and
once potted beneath a sheltering roof and both times it died in a couple
of degrees C of frost. I might have still persisted with it, but was
disgusted to find it had no scent. It does in truth show a good blue
colour, but the spike is too slender for that to make a great deal of
impact. I am sure most people would get better mileage out of one of the
blue-flowered salvias.
