About three years ago, Julie and I visited Prince Charle's Highrove Garden in Gloucestershire. Buried deep in one area of this magnificent horticultural jewel, was a small walled garden filled with Salvia pratensis, or meadow clary. A shocking vivid sky blue. Since then, while it's not that unusual a plant, I've struggled to find one to buy. Until today. At Tyntesfield they have a good plant shop, and a vivid sky blue flower caught my eye. Oh yes, S pratensis in all its glory. Our garden may not be on the scale of Highgrove, but it brings joy to us both in little bundles like this. And of course the 20% volunteer discount helped!
