  All Salvias are pretty easy going as to soil types, they don’t need feeding, (in my opinion anyway) there’s some info here, but I haven’t got any, would like them though. 🙂 https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/182557/Salvia-Silke-s-Dream/Details

  A quick google seems to show it as only being available in Europe. Looks very nice.

  I was hoping to find some "Dark Red Dream". Is there anywhere I could import some?

  @Fire l found this Dutch site (and then realised so had Hazyb) 
  https://www.dekleineplantage.nl/catalog/alphalist/s/salvia-dark-red-dream.9021.html
  I can't see if they send plants to the UK, no harm in asking 
  Failing that you could try contacting Robin Middleton, although he doesn't have a nursery he has a lot of info and might be able to advise.

  Available too from this French site. I have not checked p&p prices but they could prove prohibitive.

  You can source them from Italy as well.

  @fire this has some similarity to salvia royal bumble, which is widely available in case you can’t source this and goes nuts flowering.

  Thanks. I wondered if the Dream was darker than Bumble.

  Royal Bumble is a much brighter red than dark red dream.
