| Hi all, is this salvia? If it is can you tell which one? My wife loves it and would like me to plant a few for her but I'm not 100% sure I even know what the stuff is.
I'd greatly appreciate your help. Thanks Rick

| Wow that's a beautiful plant but not a salvia. I think it's known as Russian sage-Perovskia. Helena |

| It sure looks like Perovskia to me. This genus is related to the European Salvias. See the Salvia Research Projects discussion http://www.botany.wisc.edu/salvia/MolecularSystematics/MolecularSystem atics.html and the cladistic chart (URL given below) |
