Salvia 'Theresia'

This beauty found its way to England from Japan, via Germany! It was labelled as S. glabrescens, a Japanese species, but it is clearly not that. We think that it is a hybrid of S. guaranitica x S. splendens as it has characteristics of both. It grows to 3ft x 3ft. The large flowers are a lovely shade of purple, much lighter than 'Amistad' or 'Purple Majesty'. My sincere thanks to Theresia Zoller for sending me this plant.
