Hot Lips

A month or so ago I first spotted a pretty plant on our early morning walk-about.
It has unusual small white flowers with bright red lips.
I've tried several times to photograph it without success.

After a search or two I found out what it is:
A Salvia with the common name 'Hot Lips'.
I thought to myself, 'That is a must have.'

A search of eBay brought up some plug plants from my favourite plug plant seller;

The original listing on eBay:

Today they arrived:

 Salvia 'Hot Lips'

When we returned from our mid-afternoon walk I set about potting them up:

Salvia 'Hot Lips'

They are classed as half hardy but should be able to survive all but the harshest winters.
For now they are in the greenhouse while they get established.
