    It is always fun to purchase plants from a botanic garden. I found this tucked away in the back of a group of perennials. I fell in love with it instantly. Salvias are among my favorite flowers and this hybrid specimen is exquisite. It is thriving in an area that gets all day filtered light with a bit of direct light in the morning. It has made itself at home with my raspberries and clover keeping it company.
