name this salvia please

17 years ago

Hello fellow salvia gardeners,

I got told it could be salvia reflexa, I looked at some sites with it in flower but it doesnt look like my plant, my plant has tiny white flowers, self seeds and my plant leaves look a lot different, the flower arrangement on my plant look different to the refelexa pics Ive seen, any suggestions would be great.

Thanks Annette

Can we see a close up of the flowers? From the apparent glomerules (spiky balls of calyxes) I see the flowers emerging from, this might be a Leucas species. This genus is related to Phlomis and is found most frequently in southeastern Asia.

Hi Richard thanks for your help, here is a closer look at the flower, it is not that good as I am a lousy photographer, i hope it helps.

Cheers Annette
