But it keeps me busy that both I and Pepiniere de la Foux in France see no
difference between plants offerd as S. concolor and S. gauaranitica 'Black
and Blue'. (We are both holder of european national collections for Salvia)
Whenever one of the two is discussed I wonder what's discussed.

S. gauaranitica 'Black and Blue' does not look like all the other S.
gauaranitica cvs' in any aspect except for being a tall Salvia as well.
Have you ever noticed this problem or do you know a true S. gauaranitica
'Black and Blue' that does not look like S. concolor?
