Salvia mexicana 'Limelight'
One of my favourite salvias, which always looks great in the autumn. The flowers are lime-green and in exhuberant clusters like something tropical. Responds well to good soil.
Rich purple blue colour and lower growing than other varieties, providing contrast and height variation when combined with 'Carodonna' and 'Lye End'. Frost resistant and winter deciduous.
