Salvia 'Dark Red Dream 🌱

Fire

Does anyone have info on Salvia "Dark Red Dream"?

Lyn

All Salvias are pretty easy going as to soil types, they don’t need feeding, (in my opinion anyway) there’s some info here, but I haven’t got any, would like them though. 🙂 https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/182557/Salvia-Silke-s-Dream/Details

A quick google seems to show it as only being available in Europe. Looks very nice.

I was hoping to find some "Dark Red Dream". Is there anywhere I could import some?

@Fire l found this Dutch site (and then realised so had Hazyb)

I can't see if they send plants to the UK, no harm in asking 
Failing that you could try contacting Robin Middleton, although he doesn't have a nursery he has a lot of info and might be able to advise.

Available too from this French site. I have not checked p&p prices but they could prove prohibitive.

You can source them from Italy as well.

Perfect. Thanks so much.

@fire this has some similarity to salvia royal bumble, which is widely available in case you can’t source this and goes nuts flowering.

Fire

Thanks. I wondered if the Dream was darker than Bumble.

Royal Bumble is a much brighter red than dark red dream.
