| I have a plant flowering now that's labelled Salvia dolichantha. I've looked around on the web, and some of the descriptions and photos don't fit my plant. Salvia dolichantha is sometimes described as having pink or lilac flowers, but mine are blue. I'd like to know what it is before I swap seeds.
My plant is about a metre tall. It has large blue flowers, almost bell-shaped, big enough for a bee to fit in. I initially thought it was a Campanula. There are two things about it that might help identify it: it's VERY sticky, and, once the flowers are pollinated, the calyx closes into a two-pronged pouch which opens when the seeds are ripe.
Can someone confirm it is Salvia dolichantha, or tell me what is is, please? |
