I just saw last episode of GW and as I don't know the name of the guy living in Bedfordshire having some many species of Salvias, I ask here if someone knows which species is the one I have in my garden (it was given to me). Thanks 😉
Difficult from that photo. Have you got a better one? There are loads though, so it may not be possible to ID it. People will be able to offer general suggestions though.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
That looks like a SALVIA "BLUE BUTTERFLIES" to me. I have 3 of these in my garden. I bought them from Middleton Nurseries in the UK which specializes in salvias.
Unfortunately I don't think is any of them. Theirs flowers are too big. This one's got tiny flowers like edible sage but dark blue with white internal colour. Leaves' surface is rough and glossy. As I mentioned is creeping and not standing from a woody stem like a bush. I was wondering if it wouldn't be more like a wild variety.
Both flowers and leaves look typical and mainstream Salvia to me. Most Salvias need support, or at least to be planted close to each other so that they grow in a bushy heap and support each other.
