Ralph, the salvia might be S ringens. If no one knows here then Robin Middleton will be able to tell you - info@robinssalvias.com
He has a lovely website and sells interesting seed.

Margaret, I contacted Robin as you suggested and he has identified it as Salvia forrkaolei (although there is some doubt about the spelling!)

Glad Robin was able to help. Ralph.  Your salvia looks great in Robin's picture at Abbotsbury.

Interesting that this plant has so many permutations of its name, it  seems Kew only lists two possibilities :

Salvia forskohlei L.    http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/tro-17600294

Kew  Accepted name Salvia forsskaolei L.  http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl/record/kew-182670

Perhaps the answer lies here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Forssk%C3%A5l. Salvia forsskålei?
