Salvia “Hot Lips” (Hot Lips Sage)

This has become very popular around me here in Los Angeles. I now see it almost everywhere, but it was not that prevalent when we first planted ours. “Hot Lips” seems tolove our garden and climate, threatening to grow out of control without regular pruning.

Aquí un bancal en el que hay #habas y #guisantes ya germinados, pero que los tapa la nieve.

Sobresalen ramas y hojas de #Salvia en primer plano. #Borrajas un poco más adelante en el centro. Y #caléndulas en los laterales.

A continuación pongo una foto de hace unos días para comparar.

It may be a grey, damp, cold day but the colours in the garden are fantastic and a joy - probably a privilege - to experience.
