I did a post a few weeks back about my long, lost salvia that I thought wasn't returning this summer but then surprised me! Love those kind of surprises! It is now in it's early blooming stage. I think in another week or two it should look real good. If you want to attact hummingbirds to your yard, this is the plant for you.
In the bottom picture I tried to get a pic of the bloom. It is actually more purple than it looks in this picture. I have it planted in the back yard next to some pink and purple angelonias. Sorry for the blurriness.

That is a pretty salvia Susie. I've never seen that variety before. What is the little yellow flower in the picture. Yellow & purple are a great combination too. Your flowerbed looks nice and neat. :)
p.g. that little yellow flower is my New Gold lantana. This bed is in the front of my house and I have three n.g. lantanas planted there. Thanks for complimenting my beds, I just put down two bales of pinestraw on them.
I love blue flowers and I never think of salvia when I think blue. I have always had the red color. I need to check this out. Your beds look great.
I am a Lantana fanatic. I especially love the new one I found this year. It is rusty color with gold and is so pretty.
Thanks Eve, you definitely should check out this salvia.(Salvia guaranitica)is the botanical for it.
You should take a pic of your lantana you mentioned. It sounds really pretty. We had one at work this year called Dallas Red which was gorgeous!
