the nursery is divided in 3 parts : polytunnels, a field for testing new cultivars and a private part where seedlings are growing.

Enjoyed the photos very much. Thank you.  Do you know the name of the yellow Salvia in the shade section by any chance?

Thank you Lisa and Yann.   Strangely I've had S. Crug Thundercloud for several years but it has never flowered and I've just enjoyed the violet backed leaves. I'm definitely going to move it now I've seen the flowers.

Lisa. I have just looked at your seed catalogue and will certainly be ordering from you later in the year.
