Hi all image

Last year someone sent me these seeds and I now have 30+ seedlings. Cannot find any info online about them. Is it because whoever sent them meant unidentified flowering object lol.

Please any info on hardiness, colour etc would be great!

    Hello addict, good to see you.image

    Salvia UFO are mine and I've failed to ID them for years. Many good brains of very knowledgeable plantspeople have worked on this  to no effect so far.

    Mine are failing and something ate the seedlings so when you get some seeds can I have some pleaseimage

    They're hardy, a very pretty mauve, 3 foot tall and don't like it too dry.

    Thankyou image thought they might be yours.

    So me looking for UFO was pointless then lol. I have spread the love...so to speak and they are now growing in most of my gardens so will happily return seed when I get some.

    I do lurk here quite often just don't post much as don't have time to follow conversation. I am ridiculously busy...not complaining! 

    I think the Polemonium I have grown came from you too? Took longer but looking good now x

    Hi Addictimage

    I like that polemonium. Not exciting but pleasing in a quiet way

    They grew so well in all the gardens I planted them in and all my ladies loved them. Best combination was with blood red hollyhocks. Looked stunning.

    They will be winging their way back to you asap image
