Salvia microphylla 'Hot Lips' (VR)  This is a wild selection of the Mexican Salvia microphylla - with small green leaves and unique scarlet-red and white, two-toned flowers. Depending on temperature and moisture these will tend to appear almost completely red or white at any one time, but usually both colours are showing. |  A rich, bright red semi-double flower on tall deep bronze foliage. An old variety, but with freedom from virus, one of the best. |
 Leaves with huge cinnamon stars are surrounded by the loveliest intense orange tea coloured borders. The big, palmate cut leaves darken in the summer and lighten up again in the autumn. Its H. villosa origins give it a big bold habit and summer heat tolerance. |  Marbled leaves with a soft velvety texture and large, cupped, blue flowers with white centres and maroon veins in late summer. |
 An improvement on previous pink forms with more flowers which hold themselves even better through the summer months on purple-green foliage. |
