As for Salvias. I love May Night,it blooms a long time if cut back after first bloom

Thumb of 2011-08-25/ge1836/33b205
I have added new Salvia Evelines this summer no photos yet.
I get salvias and veronicas mixed up sometimes so I hope these ID's are right.

Agastache Blue Fortune.Bees go nuts.Here it is with Lemon Wave hydrangea

Tamara, those look a lot like my Victoria Blue salvia - same leaf, same kind of electric purple (instead of blue...) Shrug!

I transplanted this blue one .I dont know the name.
Anyone care to jump in with a guess?

Thumb of 2011-08-30/ge1836/524cae

I cant remember which site I was on ,but some one mentioned they used tomatoe cages to controle Agastache floppage.
QUESTIONs,Do you use the cages upside down?
My ags are so thinly do the cages show?

I was going to guess A. 'Black Adder' but maybe not quite dark enough for that? At any rate, it's lovely. Big Grin

The tag said Blue ? I cant remember exactly,had Blue in the title. My guess is Blue Hill.
It's not the end of the world if I cant find out.I had 2 in planters.One of them wasnt doing well,I transplanted it to the new iris section of the garden.

JoAnn, I don't think it's Blue Hill, well....that is, if my Blue Hill was labeled correctly. The foliage on mine looked more like the leaves of May Night. The leaves on yours look more like those of Victoria Blue to me.

You could be right Neal. I just took a stab at it.Which is why names of plants get comfused.
The name on the lable had Blue in it. I have a feeling label is in the trench with the hot tub. I'll never see it again.

Yeah, I concur... mostly because of the leaves, although I've seed them with ridges like that and completely smooth. I doubt the seed companies even know.

Jo Ann, do you usually keep your labels in a trench with a hot tub? Blinking

So the consensus is that it's 'Victoria Blue' then?
