I'm really very pleased with it, I thought I'd be struggling to pick decent flowering plants up by now, but this was a great find.

I've just had a look for Amistad but I can't see that the RHS lists it, I think it's a newish plant. Such a shame that it died over winter, especially if it had been sold as fully hardy. I lost my salvia Hot Lips a few winters ago and realised later that I should have protected it somehow.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.com
