Dear Sean,
Oh, what an excellent way to display S. discolor! I love this plant with
its deep plum black flowers set against the white felted foilage, but I
have never found a really good way to display it effectively in a border or
bed. I will have to try this.

>This form is effectively planted with Salvia discolor,
the Black Salvia (dark purple-black flowers), which has leaves
edged and backed in a fine white felt. The salvia is notoriously
a gawky grower no matter what you do to train it, so it benefits
from growing through or flopping over the rosemary. I have some
white variegated grasses and pale grey-white succulents at the
feet of these two.
