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. |
Sumptuous velvety-bronze flowers on lanceolate green foliage. This newly bred variety provides even more of a chocolate scent than the previous form and is more compact for pot and garden. | The intensity of its creamy yellow, bronze, and orange foliage is determined by the amount of sunlight it receives. Partial shade produces the most dramatic effect. |
Upright deep green foliage and blue flowers. This genus can be used in almost any savoury dish including fish, meat eggs and drinks. |
