@@OverdevestNurseries thanks for the reply, I already subscribed a year or so ago, love your video’s and the information you provide, I basically collect salvias, got 12 different varieties mostly the greggi and microphyla ones, spelling not correct but you know the ones I mean, my favourite is the salvia blue note, also have hot lips,amythist lips,cherry lips,nactvlinder,cherry pie,Trewithin cerest,la mancha, carradonna,blue sensation,and blue marvel and a peach one like hot lips, my garden is dedicated to the birds and bees, also managed to grow an Echium Pininana, it’s about 14 feet tall and just starting to flower, I had to cover it in the winter during that cold spell we had

You're welcome

Well spotted! Its Abelia Kaleidoscope. A beautiful, very colorful shrub that is always changing through the seasons. Here's a link to another one of our videos that will tell you more about it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btePZrV-zM60qYk.html We hope this is helpful, and if you find it, and any of out other videos worthy, it would be nice if you could kindly click the "like" icon, because that will help other people discover the information too.

We are delighted to hear you found the trimming tip useful. It works really well and is definitely is worth doing. To answer your question..... the lavenders to the right of Salvia Caradonna are "English Lavenders" and the one you astutely noticed is Lavandula 'Imperial Gem". A variety that is destined to become much more widely grown once people get to know about it. Here's a link to a video we filmed: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLKfhqx7x7W2k40.html where I explain about it, and what you can do to get the best from it. It will be available at a host of leading garden centers across our region this coming spring, and if you consult this locator link: www.grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ you will be able to find all the places that have access to it. Finally, if you are interested in researching other types and varieties of lavender check through this channel because we have posted several videos of them too.

@@OverdevestNurseries Thank you for the reply! The Imperial Gem looks so elegant with its tall stalks and vibrant bush. It definitely is an award-winning variety. Would the garden centers (shown in the locator link) be selling seeds of the Imperial Gem variety as well? I think this would be a wonderful gift for my relatives living in the West Coast, and I'm not sure if shipping a live plant across America would be ideal.

​@@hi_sayri Imperial Gem is a selected clone and therefore will not come through from seed. It is probably possible to wrap up and package a plant & send to the west coast but that would take a lot of effort and be expensive. So maybe it would be better to tell your relatives about it and ask them to be on the lookout at local garden centers, because it is probably only a matter of time until it becomes better known and more widely grown. Meanwhile, you can enjoy it here in our region and be able to relay all your experiences with it.

@@OverdevestNurseries Alright, thank you for the information! I shall relay it to my relatives as well, and I look forward to having one of my own sometime next year. I hope you have a great day!

Enjoying a beautiful garden plant in all its glory is a special delight, and if we are lucky enough to have tended and nurtured it, and watched develop and mature, then that brings pride and a sense of achievement too. Helping Mother Nature show off her natural beauty in our own back and front yards is what gardening is all about. Its relaxing, therapeutic, and helps get some beneficial exercise too. So, we hope you get to enjoy your garden and its plants, and get to share it with your friends and family too.
