Salvia

There's great variety amongst the Salvias. Some can be used in formal bedding schemes, others are at home in an informal cottage garden. There's also a great diversity of sizes. Some can reach 2m tall.

The flowers generally have a subtle charm, but they are much more suitable for our climate than many of the other perennials we might read about in gardening books, especially if you're trying to create a cottage garden style.
